"Excellent School with Amazing Values"

I'm so pleased with the progress my daughter has made at King Edward VI School. The values of Curiosity, Care, Courage and Creativity are really coming alive in her and she's becoming a more confident and kind person. The sports facilities are fantastic and she's really enjoyed taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award.

"Good School with Some Room for Improvement"

My son is enjoying his time at King Edward VI School, but I do feel that the school could do more to support students with their mental health. The facilities are great and he's really enjoyed taking part in the extra-curricular activities. However, the school could benefit from more regular updates on his progress.
