It is a cathedral school, and being part of the foundation of Rochester Cathedral, the Dean of Rochester Cathedral serves as the chair of the school's governing body. It claims to be the second-oldest school in the world, having been founded in 604 AD.

It is the second oldest school in the United Kingdom after The King's School Canterbury^{[citation needed]}. The current King's Head Master is Dr Ian Walker, with Mr Kevin Jones as the Senior School Headmaster, Mr Roger Overend as the Preparatory School Headmaster and Mrs Sarah Skillen as the Pre-Preparatory School Headmistress.
