King’s School, Chester

The King’s School is an independent, academically selective school for boys and girls from ages 4-18 years old, which has been in existence now for over 475 years.

The school blends its long-standing traditions with 21st Century innovations to offer a truly outstanding education. Its schools consist of Willow Lodge (age 4-7 years), The Junior School (age 7-11 years), The Senior School (age 11-16 years) and Sixth Form (age 16-18 years).

Last year the school was named as the North West Independent School of the Year in The Sunday Times Parent Power Guide. The annual guide is widely acknowledged as the most comprehensive survey of the UK’s top educational institutions.

Earlier this year, the school opened a new £2.8 million Sixth Form Centre as part of its on-going expansion plans across all of its school sites.

The centre, which can now cater for 250 sixth form students,z includes a larger common room, new dining area, kitchen, study rooms and five new classrooms.

A state-of-the-art drama studio has also been built, to help accommodate a thriving drama programme at the school.

The extension of the previous centre is a crucial step in the school’s ambition to increase the number of students on bursaries to 100 by 2041 – the school’s 500th birthday, with sixth form bursaries being a particular focus.

Working with regular client, consultant ECS, as well as contractor LET Electrical, Dextra supplied several different luminaires for on-going expansion projects at the school.
