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.[3]
Although for centuries a boys-only grammar school, "Kings" is now mixed and has a junior department in Madeley House.[4][5] 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.
