"Exceptional Academy with Wonderful Teachers"
My daughter has thrived at King Edward VI Academy. The teachers are supportive and encouraging, and the facilities are excellent. I'm grateful for the Inspiration Fund which has given her opportunities to develop her passions outside the classroom.

"A Good Experience So Far"
My son is still in his first year at King Edward VI Academy, but we're happy with the progress he's made. The teachers seem nice, and the facilities are okay. I'm not sure about the school's attitude towards homework, though - it feels a bit excessive at times.
