Christ the King School is a Catholic Primary School Academy - servicing the parish of Holy Family (Christ the King, Kinson & St. Bernadette's, Ensbury Park) and St. Anthony's, West Moors. The school is in the Diocese of Plymouth and is part of the Catholic & Anglican Schools Trust (CAST)

The school caters for 300 plus children and has a Pre-School.

At the end of Year 6 our children transfer to secondary school. Our school feeds into St. Peter's R.C. Comprehensive School in Bournemouth, providing children with the opportunity of having a catholic education from 3 to 18 years! A proportion of children also go to local secondary schools and grammar schools in Bournemouth and Poole.

The school is set behind the Church of Christ the King and benefits from extensive grounds - with Pre-School & Reception play areas, 2 playgrounds and a large field.
