For the third year in a row, The King’s School Chester is delighted to feature as one of the country’s top 100 cricketing schools in The Cricketer Magazine.
The accolade comes at an exciting time for cricket at King’s as the sport continues to grow, enjoying increased participation amongst both boys and girls.
Director of Cricket, Mark Baker, is thrilled that King’s has once again been included in the Schools Guide.
He said: “To feature in the Schools Guide for a third year in a row is testament to the progress we have made in growing our cricket programme.
“In four years, we have achieved more than we thought would be possible, including the realisation of one of our aims to establish a regular long-haul cricket tour for our senior players.”
Last year’s Senior Cricket Tour to Sri Lanka was a real milestone for cricket at King’s as 15 senior players enjoyed an unforgettable trip filled with competitive fixtures, memorable cultural experiences and quality training at some impressive locations.
Mr Baker continues: “The tour was such a resounding success that planning is already well underway for our 2027 tour to Barbados. It is hard to understate what our players got out of the Sri Lanka tour and I am thrilled that our current Thirds, Fourths and Fifths will have the same opportunity.”
As Mr Baker looks to secure a fourth year in a row as one of the UK’s top 100 cricket schools, priorities also include continuing to develop girls’ hardball cricket, and increasing cricketing opportunities for the whole community.
The Cricketer Schools Guide was included as a supplement in the December issue of The Cricketer and is available in newsagents and from The Cricketer website now.
We will be launching our 2027 Senior Cricket Tour to Barbados on Thursday, 29 January. All parents of interested Thirds, Fourths and Fifths are invited to join us at 6pm in the Sixth Form Lecture Theatre.
