King's Ely is a leading independent all-through day and boarding school for boys and girls aged 2 to 18.

Nestled in the picturesque cathedral city of Ely in Cambridgeshire, King’s Ely is a vibrant, nurturing, inclusive and forward-looking community which has prepared children’s futures for a millennium, making us one of the oldest schools in the world. Ely is just 15 minutes from Cambridge and 1 hour from London, with direct rail links to both. Our privately-run school buses stop at key locations around Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and Norfolk.

King’s Ely is delighted to be a finalist in the recent Independent Schools of the Year Awards, and our latest Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) inspection resulted in our school achieving the highest grading possible in every single category. Inspectors said that “pupils throughout King’s Ely make excellent progress across all areas of learning and at all age and ability ranges”, and that “pupils show a keen appreciation, respect and support for the diverse nature of their community”.
