King’s College School Association

When pupils leave King’s they are offered the opportunity to become lifelong members of the King’s College School Association.

It is important for us to facilitate a means for past pupils to remain in contact with the School and with other alumni. If you have any recent shareable news/achievements (whether a part in the school production, a place at university, a doctorate or a knighthood), please send a brief (max 200 words) summary to kcsa@kcs.cambs.sch.uk.

If you are a former King’s pupil and would like to join our mailing list please email kcsa@kcs.cambs.sch.uk.
