Facilities
In September 2011, the primary and secondary moved into a new school building, as part of the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme.[2] There are now three floors in King David. On the ground floor, there are the "creative" subjects, including ICT, Business, Art, Design Technology, and PE. There is also the reception area, sixth form common room, and atrium. On the first floor, there are the humanities subjects (English, Modern Foreign Languages, History, and Geography). The second floor is the home to the Maths rooms and Science Labs. All floors have "breakout" spaces, where classes can go to do project/group work. There are also ICT facilities, toilets, and water fountains on each floor.
