“My journey as a sculptor was kick-
started at King’s Ely and the school really set me on the path to believing in my artistic abilities” Old Elean and award-winning sculptor, Edward Waites offers boundless opportunities for pupils to learn through outdoor education, with students able to undertake their Duke of Edinburgh’s Award at all three levels. King’s Ely boasts some of the region’s most historic buildings, yet teaching facilities are modern and purpose-built. The close links with Ely Cathedral – one of the finest cathedrals in the world – make the perfect setting for concerts and performances, a daily extension to the school’s workspace, the school chapel, and a place of outstanding beauty and spirituality. Boarders, including the Ely Cathedral Boy and Girl Choristers, live in picturesque and community-spirited boarding houses, well led by caring housemasters and housemistresses. The 14th-century Monastic Barn provides the perfect place for breakfast, lunch and tea, and a strong pastoral structure where childhood is respected and cherished is a key feature. King’s Ely is a family – a community that is vibrant, nurturing and inclusive. It is a school that can take each child on a seamless journey, travelling from one section to the next, while welcoming newcomers at key transition stages, giving support and adapting the offering to the needs of every child in the school’s care. Only by visiting King’s Ely can you feel the energy and warmth of its community.
