One of the special things about King's is its semi-rural setting, which offers our own wildlife sanctuary, stream, orchards and extensive outdoor facilities. The town of Macclesfield is a historic market town on the edge of the Peak District and fringed by hills, forests and canals.
The King's campus is on Alderley Road, Prestbury, SK10 4SP. It is less than 4 miles to Alderley Edge, 1.3 miles to Prestbury village, 2.3 miles to Macclesfield train station, 6 miles to Wilmslow town centre and 8 miles to Congleton town centre. The School operates a number of bus services:
