On Friday 16 January 2026, The King’s Association and the Friends of Junior King’s School (JKS) collaborated for the first time to host a coffee afternoon for JKS parents.

The Friends of JKS is the Junior School's parent-teacher charitable unicorporated association. Run by a volunteer committee, they aim to bring the community together through events and activities, also raising money for the School and local organisations. Similarly, the King’s Association connects the wider King’s community, past and present, across all three Schools. United by shared goals of fostering community and engagement, this first joint event gave parents the chance to meet and build connections across the King’s network.

An informal event, parents and guardians arrived before the after-school pick-up to catch up with each other and enjoy freshly brewed coffee and cakes provided by the School catering team. We were pleased to be joined by Rob Stonier, Interim Head of Junior King’s School, who shared updates with parents and introduced himself.

It was also a moment for parents to learn more about upcoming King's Association events, such as 'An Afternoon at the Movies' where Paddington will be shown on the Malthouse big screen on Sunday 22 March 2026. 

We're looking forward to returning to JKS for another collaboration with the Friends of JKS soon. Please keep an eye out for our next event themed on wellness! 

Take a look at our upcoming King's Association events. Events are open to all members of the King's community, past and present, including OKS, parents, staff, pupils and friends of the School.
