The King's (The Cathedral) School

Founded by King Henry VIII in 1541, The King's (The Cathedral) School is a state-funded Church of England Cathedral Chorister School located in Peterborough, England. It is the Chorister School for Peterborough Cathedral. Former pupils are known as Old Petriburgians. Although for centuries a boys-only grammar school, "Kings" is now mixed and has a Junior Department in Madeley House. Madeley House was previously the home for boarders, and many cathedral choristers were boarders there; but now the school has day pupils only. As part of the wider Chapter of Peterborough Cathedral, the Headteacher retains his own stall in the Quire today. In 2019, The Sunday Times Good Schools Guide officially deemed The King's (The Cathedral School) to be the Best State School in East Anglia.
