"Our daughter is thriving!"

We moved to Stafford and were impressed by the warm welcome and the excellent facilities at King Edward VI High School. The extra-curricular activities have been a game-changer for our daughter - she's made lifelong friends and discovered a passion for drama. We're so grateful we made the decision to join the school's family.

"Great potential, but some growing to do"

My son's settled in well at King Edward VI High School, and we're encouraged by the school's focus on nurturing each student's potential. However, we've found the communication with teachers could be better - we've had to chase up a few issues. Still, we're hopeful that the school will continue to improve and live up to its promises.

"Best school in Stafford!"

As a former parent, I can confidently say that King Edward VI High School was the perfect choice for our daughter. The school's values of kindness, respect, and responsibility really shone through in the way the teachers and staff supported her throughout her A Level studies. We're so proud of the person she's become!
