The King's School is an educational institution in Ottery St Mary, Devon. It was established as a choir school by the bishop John Grandisson in 1335, but was replaced by a Grammar School by Henry VIII in 1545. It became a comprehensive school in 1982.
The school is a government endowed Sports College with access to local facilities also shared by the public - namely the Colin Tooze Sports Centre.
The school currently has about 1000 students and 80 teachers. 1000 students is the current maximum capacity of the school, further expansion is an option, but at the moment the issue has not been finalised. In 2006, it got the third best GCSE results for Devon comprehensive schools, and gets reasonable A level results.
Faith K Jarrett became the headteacher in 2004, succeeding Roger A Featherstone.
