The school was originally established on a temporary site in Portslade. In September 2019 the school moved to its permanent site in Hangleton. In early 2020, it was severely damaged by Storm Ciara leading to the temporary closure of the school.[3]
Currently it also serves families in the BN3 postcode area.[4] It opened in September 2013 with its first cohort of Year 7 students. The first headteacher was Mr Steve Flavin.[5][6] The present headteacher is Mrs Sarah Price.
King's School was established by the Russell Education Trust, working with local parents.[7][8] The school has moved to a purpose-built site in Hangleton which has 3 floors, a multi-usage sports area, and a sixth form centre set to be open by 2023.
