The best opportunity
The school is committed to ensuring that pupils receive high quality teaching so that they have the best opportunity possible to achieve or exceed their full potential. All pupils are encouraged to do their best, so that they can each make their own personal progress. The school endeavours to emphasise the importance of attendance, punctuality, and pupils being committed to their learning. We want all pupils to leave school prepared to be good citizens that can make positive contributions to society.

"The headteacher, well supported by senior leaders, has ensured rapid improvements in all aspects of the school’s work since the previous inspection. Effective teaching means that pupils in key stages 3 and 4 now make good progress."
Ofsted, 2018 |
Personal development
All schools that provide a high quality education like King Edward VI not only offers academic challenge and support but also places great emphasis on the personal development and well-being of all pupils. There are an abundance of enrichment activities ranging from sports, musical and wider performing arts and leadership programmes, to peer mentoring, active citizenship and numerous fundraising activities. There are many examples where these opportunities have led to great success and recognition for our pupils. Our School Council is a vibrant force within the school; it is very well led by our Head Boy and Head Girl through the Student Leadership Team. Their input is vital and integral to the continued success and development of the school.

"Assessment information is used very well throughout the school. Teachers use it to inform their lesson planning. Leaders scrutinise it thoroughly to identify issues and to plan future interventions." |
Happy and achieve
When choosing a school for your child, you want them to be safe, be happy and to achieve. This is a crucial decision for any parent/carer. The pastoral support that the school gives all of its pupils is the foundation on which your child’s education is based upon. The school works tremendously hard to ensure all pupils feel safe and happy, and this results in pupils achieving their best.

"Relationships are strong throughout the school. Teachers know their pupils well. Pupils trust their teachers and other adults. Consequently, they feel safe and well supported." |
Take another GOOD look...
A school’s website or any other documentation is very useful, but it is no substitute for the reality of how a school actually ‘feels’. For this reason, may I strongly advise you to visit our school, either on Open Evening or during the day, in order to get that real feel for our school?
Please take up this opportunity to visit and speak to both pupils and staff. I have no doubt whatsoever that you will leave feeling reassured and impressed by what you see and hear.
I look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to our vibrant and exciting community.
