King Edward’s has an outstanding record of academic excellence and achievement. It is amongst the top co-educational independent schools in the country. They encourage students to develop a life-long love of learning supported by a disciplined yet enjoyable approach to their studies. The teachers are highly qualified, talented and dedicated.

Things to note
Sport
Sport plays a central role in the life of a King Edward VI student. All students have the opportunity to represent the school in a wide range of sports and they are challenged to work towards filling their sporting potential, whatever that may be.
Creative Arts
At King Edward’s we provide students with an atmosphere in which creativity will flourish. A wealth of opportunities in which to explore and develop creative interests enables pupils to pursue music, drama and artistic expression beyond their academic studies. Beautiful, naturally-lit art studios, a state of the art theatre, and purpose-build music rooms provide the exceptional facilities, which underpin students’ pursuit of excellence in their own creativity.
Co-Curricular Activities
King Edward’s encourages all pupils to get involved in school life, beyond their academic studies. It is an important part of being a member of the wider school community, a great way to make friends, develop new interests and hone existing skills. As students settle into the school, the range of opportunities increases as they move through the school. By the end of Sixth Form, young people leave us for higher education full of confidence and experience, excited and prepared to make the most of life’s opportunities.
Sixth Form Life
A Sixth Former’s life is a considerably different experience from what has come before. As senior members of the school community, they enjoy an increased level of individual freedom and independence, and the “business dress” code helps define that difference.
