Pass, pass and pass. Partner made his bed, let him lie in it. If he wasn't confident in 3NT being the right place, he'd most likely be bidding 2S

I like my hand for NT actually, this K of S should be very welcome. I can not see any reason to advance, 3N really shuts us out when 2S was available to show a better hand.

If 3NT is the wrong contract then partner's 3NT call was wrong. I pass.

And the same thing applies to my king of spades being a low spade.

The bidding seems normal, 3NT is a clear sign-off. Without the King of spades prefer a pass. We can get back into the auction easily enough & frequently describe our shape better than if we opened ourselves (ex. P-P-P-1 ♠-2♠ (michaels))

Auction is normal and I pass at all forms of scoring whether my spade is K or 2.

P in all cases.

I would note in passing that I wouldn't have started from here in the bent version of weak NT Acol that I play.

We bid 1♥-2♣-3♦ showing 2 decent 5 card+ suits but not a great hand (insufficient to force to game opposite 9-10, we use an artificial GF not necessarily balanced 2N if bigger), technically NF but almost never passed so partner would be bidding 3N with his eyes wide open expecting this sort of thing.
