We are widely acknowledged as one of the nation’s leading cricket schools and a global powerhouse in the sport. We are pleased to announce the continuation of our long‑standing partnership with Somerset County Cricket Club into 2026, further building on a rich history of shared success and outstanding cricketing development.

The partnership preserves and strengthens a relationship described by Somerset CCC as “long-standing and mutually beneficial,” reflecting the deep links that have been forged over decades between two organisations committed to excellence in player development.

We are also a designated Centre of Cricketing Excellence and have produced a number of Somerset players over the years including Jos Buttler, Alex Barrow, Tom Banton, Will Smeed, Sonny Baker, James Rew, Thomas Rew, Eddie Byrom, Nathan Gilchrist, George Thomas, Josh Thomas, Finn Hill and Erin Vukusic.

Somerset CCC Commercial Director Caroline Herbert praised the continued collaboration, noting:

“Both organisations remain committed to identifying, nurturing and developing the very best talented young people throughout the South West, both on and off the field.

“Our Pathway is the envy of the domestic game and King’s College is one of the crucial partners who help to ensure that we continue to produce talented individuals who go on to excel in both the men’s and women’s games.

King’s Director of Sport, Phil Lewis OA, added:

“We are delighted to announce that we have signed another year’s partnership with Somerset County Cricket Club. We’re proud to continue building this mutually beneficial partnership, that has seen many King’s pupils going on to represent Somerset.
