About King Edward VI School

K.E.S. is a forward-looking grammar school with a reputation for exceptionally high standards and an outstanding co-curricular programme. The School has always played a major role in the life of Stratford-upon- Avon, situated as it is in the heart of the town. We enjoy the benefits of being a small school with talented students and a team of dedicated staff who are all committed to the wider life of the School. It is a purposeful and busy place where you will find the highest standards of work, commitment and courtesy. K.E.S. is a relatively small school, with just over 400 boys in the main school and 310 in our Co-educational Sixth Form, and this gives it a sense of being a community. The site is compact, people know each other and it is a very happy place. We are fortunate to have students who enter the School in Year 7 having passed the 11+ exam, who are talented and enthusiastic and have good academic potential. They are joined in the Sixth Form by students from over 40 different schools with a proven track record of success at GCSE. Extra-curricular activities figure largely in the School’s life: music, both choral and instrumental, are quite outstanding; the scale and variety of the sports and activities programme (including DoE and World Challenge) is comparable with that found in the independent sector and it is, perhaps, only right and proper that in Shakespeare’s School the drama is of such high quality that it receives national acclaim.
