Welcome!

King Arthur’s Community School is a friendly, hardworking and busy school.  We believe in and strive for inclusion and opportunities for all, good working relationships and high standards of achievement.  Our students excel academically, vocationally, and in the sporting arena and the arts.  A few highlights from 2008-2009 include the best GCSE results ever, Bronze, Silver and Gold success in the UK Mathematics Challenge, County badminton champions, community Music Concert in Wincanton Memorial Hall and Student Leadership Programmes across many aspects of school life.

The staff are well-qualified, experienced and committed to providing a supportive and safe environment in which

students can thrive.  We value our partnerships with parents and the local community and seek to further develop the concept of being a community school.  We believe in honesty, hard work, good manners and respect, and work to encourage these qualities in our students. 

In October 2008 , King Arthur’s celebrated 50 years of providing education in the Wincanton area, and we were reminded of a comment from the opening speech of Field Marshall Lord Harding of Petherton who opened the school in October 1958, “Whatever the truth about King Arthur, of one thing we can be sure.  There did live, about 1500 years ago, in this part of England, a great warrior.  He showed great qualities – bravery, perseverance and kindness – and, if his name was Arthur, it is a name which we as a school should be proud to bear.”
