Kings' School is a comprehensive school in Winchester, Hampshire. It traditionally excels at OFSTED inspections, and is, therefore, a much sought-after school for parents to send their children.^{[citation needed]}

Kings' is a large school with about 1,800 pupils.

King's has a large catchment, inside Winchester, but stretching south to the surrounding villages. It also takes in students from out of catchment from as far north as Andover, and as far south as Southampton.

Kings' uses the First Student bus service.

It is the first school in the UK to have its own DAB digital radio station, KARD Radio, which broadcasts to a possible audience of 1 million people all over Hampshire.^{[citation needed]}

It was formed by the merging of the previous Winchester Girls' County High School otherwise known as Danemark, with the Winchester Boys' Secondary Modern or Montgomery of Alamein School.

Kings' school also features a boarding house, where foreign students can stay whilst studying at King's School.
