“In the Senior School and Sixth Form, we both build on the KES journey so far and also welcome many new pupils into our vibrant community.”

Opportunity, engagement and aspiration remain key watchwords at the heart of an exceptional all-round education that encourages pupils to follow their passions and gives them the confidence to find their voice and to make a difference. 

We are both proud of the academic excellence and success for which KES is renowned and also keen to celebrate our pupils’ efforts and achievements in many different fields. We place great value on the traditional virtues of doing your best, making the most of the incredible opportunities on offer and aiming high, whilst also keeping your feet on the ground and supporting others. 

We hope that our pupils will flourish on all fronts, fulfil their potential in and out of the classroom and leave the school happy, successful and ready to thrive in the world beyond King Edward’s.

“Our Junior School enables pupils to thrive in the moment whilst preparing them for the future.”

Day to day life provides a breadth of opportunities that challenge, excite, engage and inspire through high quality specialist teaching, outstanding facilities and individualised and supportive pastoral care. Pupils are encouraged to develop their independence and to set high standards for themselves whilst embracing innovation, creativity and curiosity. Our Junior School is about so much more than what you can record on a spreadsheet or in a prospectus; it is about an experience that sets children up as confident learners and well-rounded and compassionate young people and which leaves them with wonderful memories to last a lifetime.

“The irresistible learning adventure at KES begins in our Pre-Prep and Nursery.

Every child is treasured and cared for in our nurturing environment. We follow the children’s interests, exploring, extending and challenging each pupil. Our wonderful enabling environment, curriculum and staff encourage our children to be curious learners with a resilience and perseverance to solve problems. By the time the pupils leave us they have a genuine love for learning and an independence to flourish at the Junior School.
