It is a member of the [[Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference]] and the [[Eton Group]]. It is Britain's oldest [[Public school (United Kingdom)|public school]] and is considered to be the [[List of oldest schools|oldest continuously operating school]] in the world, as education on the Abbey and Cathedral grounds has been uninterrupted since AD 597.{{efn|name=shishi|[[Shishi Middle School]] in China claims a foundation c.142 BC but this is disputed owing to a gap in its functioning.}} ==History== The school started as a medieval cathedral school said to have been founded during [[Late antiquity|Late Antiquity]] in AD 597, a century after the [[Fall of the Western Roman Empire]], by [[Augustine of Canterbury]], considered the "Apostle to the English" and a founder of the English Church, thus making it arguably the world's oldest extant school. This is based on the fact that St Augustine founded an abbey (within the current school's grounds) where it is known that teaching took place.<ref name="History of the School">{{Cite web|url=https://www.kings-school.co.uk/about/history/|title=History of the School|website=The King's School, Canterbury|language=en|access-date=2019-07-27}}</ref> When the [[Dissolution of the Monasteries]] took place, the school was re-founded by [[royal charter]] in 1541. A Headmaster, a Lower Master, and fifty King's Scholars were established and the name "King's School", was used for the first time, referring to [[Henry VIII of England|King Henry VIII]]. [[Reginald Pole|Cardinal Pole]] moved the school to the Mint Yard and acquired the Almonry building, which was in use for over 300 years. Throughout the next 100 years several former pupils achieved national recognition helping the school establish its reputation; these include the first headmaster, [[John Twyne]], and [[Christopher Marlowe]], [[William Harvey]] and [[John Tradescant the Younger]]. The buildings were improved and academic standards raised during the leadership of [[John Mitchinson (bishop)|John Mitchinson]] and around this time the school became a "[[Public school (United Kingdom)|public school]]" with a national reputation.<ref name="History of the School"/> When Canon John "Fred" Shirley became headmaster in 1935 the school was suffering from the effects of the depression. He managed the school's rapid expansion to around 600 pupils over the next 30 years, constructing further buildings in the precincts and helping the school survive the war-time evacuation. The school received a new Royal Charter from King [[George VI of the United Kingdom|George VI]] and [[Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother|Queen Elizabeth]] in 1946. During this time, the reputation of the school grew, helped by its academic and sporting successes. The school was boys-only for almost 1400 years, until the early 1970s, when girls were admitted to the Sixth Form for the first time, and the school has been fully co-educational since 1990.<ref name="History of the School"/> The school is also the oldest charity in the UK.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201314/cmselect/cmpubadm/76/7605.htm|last=U K Parliament|title=House of Commons β The role of the Charity Commission and "public benefit": Post-legislative scrutiny of the Charities Act 2006 β Public Administration Committee|access-date=2019-07-27|archive-date=5 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190305125536/https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201314/cmselect/cmpubadm/76/7605.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref> ==Assessment== In 2011, the school was rated as "Good" by Ofsted.<ref name="2011 inspection">{{cite web|url=https://reports.ofsted.gov.uk/provider/1/SC023674|title=Ofsted | King's School Canterbury|access-date=28 January 2021|archive-date=3 February 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210203082517/https://reports.ofsted.gov.uk/provider/1/SC023674|url-status=dead}}.</ref> In 2017, the school was subject to its latest regular, independent inspection.<ref name="2017 inspection">{{cite web |url=https://www.kings-school.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/The_King_s_School_Canterbury_EQI_report.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=2018-04-06 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180406233010/https://www.kings-school.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/The_King_s_School_Canterbury_EQI_report.pdf |archive-date=6 April 2018 }}.</ref> The inspection team praised the "outstanding academic results" and the pupils' integrity, self-assurance, and "generosity of spirit".

Archbishops of Canterbury addressed the School from the Staircase during Visitations. King George VI, accompanied by Queen Elizabeth and Princess Elizabeth, presented the School's Royal Charter to the Dean on 11 July 1946. ==Traditions== {{citation needed section|date=October 2017}} King's has many traditions including:[[File:Priory block of the King's School.jpg|thumb|The Economics department is housed in the Priory block, which was originally built around 1100 as part of the [[medieval priory]] buildings, especially the brewery and bakehouse. It was taken over by the King's School in 1936.|310x310px]] *'''Purples:''' Until recently called "monitors", these are the school prefects, who are marked out by their distinctive purple gowns. Only those in the highest year at the school may be a purple. Each house generally has one purple (the Head of House). The purples are headed by the Captain of School and a Vice-Captain. A head scholar and two Vice-head scholars are also invited to become Purples. *'''Full Canterbury Dress:''' The name given to the school uniform, which consists of a white shirt with wing collar, black waistcoat, pinstripe trousers, black jacket, black socks, black tie and black shoes for the boys. Girls wear a white blouse, brooch, pinstripe skirt or trousers, black jacket, black tights and black shoes. When he came to the School, Fred Shirley, Headmaster (1935β1962), updated the school uniform to sports jackets but within a year, the boys had asked to revert to their traditional garb. He tried again after the War when the School returned to Canterbury, this time taking a vote on the matter but despite the difficulty in finding outmoded clothing in a time of clothes rationing, the boys once again decided to revert to tradition. In the mid-twentieth century, there were elaborate customs relating to such matters as buttons and the angle at which a boater was worn. The girls' version was introduced by Anthony Phillips, Headmaster. *'''Court Dress:''' Worn on "Commem Day", the last day of the school year, leavers wear court dress, consisting of white tie and black evening tailcoats, with breeches and black stockings. Purples wear their purple gowns and carry brown canes with gold handles while the Organ Scholars of the school wear black academic gowns over their court dress and carry black canes with Silver Handles. *'''King's Scholars:''' An academically-select group, marked by black jumpers with white trimmings that have recently replaced their distinctive black gowns, they process wearing surplices during school services in the Cathedral. To become a scholar, a pupil must take the Scholarship examinations at a standard approaching GCSEs prior to entry at the age of 12 to 14 (Exhibitioners may also be elected) or, in the case of honorary scholars, achieve exceptional GCSE results (9 A*s is usually the minimum) or AS Level results. King's Scholars are part of the Canterbury Cathedral Foundation and have a role in the Enthronement of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Scholars are admitted by the dean at the beginning of every school term; the scholars kneeling before the dean, who then touches their head and utters "Admitto Te", formally acknowledging them as a King's Scholar. King's Scholars in the Upper Sixth are permitted to wear a black gown. *'''Uniform Gating:''' A form of punishment that requires pupils to wear Canterbury Dress all day every day, while getting a form signed by someone in a position of authority (usually a teacher or a purple) at 15-minute intervals during their free time. This can prevent them from leaving the school at all for up to a week. *'''Monitors' Canes:''' A privilege given to School Monitors (Purples) and House Monitors. Purples are allowed black canes and House monitors are allowed wood coloured canes. The Head of the [[combined cadet force|CCF]] is also allowed to carry a [[pace stick]].
