Seven Kings School (formerly known as Seven Kings High School) is a coeducational comprehensive primary and secondary school in the Ilford area of the London Borough of Redbridge, England. Catering for ages 4–18, Seven Kings School has a separate Primary and Secondary block in a short walking distance from one another. The school has also participated and won awards which are notable around the UK, such as, The Jack Petchey Award and has been a National Teaching School. Seven Kings has also pioneered work to include pupils with special needs and disabilities.
The school was first opened in 1931, as Beal Grammar School, a coeducational grammar school. In 1957, the boys' wing of the school moved to a separate site, and today exists as a coeducational comprehensive secondary school under the name Beal High School. The remaining school became Beal Grammar School for Girls, a selective grammar school for girls. In 1974, the school was renamed Seven Kings High School, merged with Downshall Secondary School, and became a coeducational comprehensive secondary school.
In 2015, Seven Kings Primary School, a four-form entry school, with 120 Reception children was opened. Because local authorities are forbidden under current legislation from opening new schools, the new primary school had to be opened as part of an existing school, so Seven Kings High School was merged with the newly opened primary school, to become Seven Kings School. As these children move up through the school, an additional 120 children will start each year. The primary school will reach full capacity by September 2021, when the original Reception intake becomes Year 6. These first children will be the founding year groups of the school and see the school grow as they move up through it. All children who attend Seven Kings Primary will automatically be entitled to move on to Seven Kings High School.
Seven Kings uniform for lower and upper school consists of a navy blazer, blue shirt, navy trousers or skirt and a school tie, consisting of the Seven Kings logo of crowns.
The Sixth Form students must wear formal suits (blazers) and ties. From September 2012, male students entering the sixth form must wear black suits and the Seven Kings sixth form tie. Female students are to wear formal suits/clothes, presumably black and white.
