A Community Where Everyone Belongs...
Our Family Ethos
From the moment they join us, students and their families become part of the King Edward VI family. We pride ourselves on creating a nurturing and inclusive community where everyone feels a sense of belonging. Our smaller, supportive environment allows us to truly know each student, fostering strong bonds between pupils, teachers, and parents. This close-knit atmosphere ensures that every child feels safe, understood, and confident to express themselves. We believe that a strong foundation built on mutual respect and genuine care is essential for personal growth and academic achievement.
Building Strong Relationships for Lasting Success
Family
At the heart of our school is the belief that powerful relationships unlock potential.
Our dedicated staff go above and beyond to build meaningful connections with every student. This isn't just about teaching a curriculum; it's about mentoring, listening, and guiding. Whether it's a teacher inspiring a love for their subject, a tutor offering pastoral support, or older students acting as role models, these positive relationships are fundamental to our students' well-being and success.
We work in partnership with parents, recognising that a collaborative approach ensures the very best outcomes for your child.
Exceptional Care:
Nurturing Every Aspect of Your Child
Your child’s well-being is our top priority.
Our comprehensive pastoral care system is designed to support every aspect of their development – academic, emotional, and social. We provide a safe space where students can discuss challenges, seek guidance, and develop resilience.
From dedicated form tutors and a robust pastoral team to specialised support services, we ensure that help is always at hand. We believe that happy, well-supported children are the most successful learners, and our commitment to their care underpins everything we do.
Recognising true potential.
Be the best YOU can be.
Not an exam factory.
We are fundamentally different from an 'exam factory'.
While academic rigour is important, our primary focus is on recognising and nurturing each child's unique potential – not just their ability to pass exams. Our motto, "Be the best YOU can be," encapsulates our philosophy. We offer a rich and varied curriculum, alongside a vast array of extra-curricular opportunities, designed to spark curiosity, foster creativity, and develop critical thinking skills. We challenge students to explore their interests, take risks, and discover talents they never knew they had.
At King Edward VI High School, success isn't solely defined by grades; it's about individual growth, resilience, character development, and equipping your child with the skills and confidence to thrive in a rapidly changing world. We celebrate every achievement, big or small, and empower our students to become confident, compassionate, and contributing members of society.
