Welcome to our school. The King Edward VI School is a high achieving school, with a reputation for academic excellence for all. We provide for over 1400 students from years 9-13 and have a thriving Sixth Form of around 450 students. We pride ourselves on being a fully inclusive and truly comprehensive school built on traditional principles and high standards.

We aim to prepare all in our care to leave the school fully equipped to meet the challenges they may face, and with a sense of service to their communities. We value our positive relations between staff and students and are proud of our friendly and purposeful atmosphere. 

Our dedicated staff ensure that students are challenged to meet their potential, in a supportive environment. We have a holistic view of education and pride ourselves on offering a fully rounded educational experience. It is not only in the academic sphere where our students excel. Our commitment to extra-curricular activities is very strong, and we offer our students an extensive enrichment and extra-curricular programme. We believe there is something here for everyone.  

We are very proud of our staff, students and our legacy. Please take a moment to look through our website to get an insight into what our school has to offer.
