Sport
Kingswood has a reputation for encouraging sports, with boys playing rugby, hockey and cricket. Kingswood competes with all other public schools in Somerset and most Kingswood boys consider King Edward's School, Bath and Prior Park College as their main rivals due to their close proximity and history of rivalry. Sporting achievements within the school are awarded by the presentation of "Colours", first by a special tie and then a special blazer.
