At King Edward’s School, we seek to inspire our pupils to take on the challenges the world presents, to make a significant contribution to that world and, most of all, to enjoy doing so.

Mission

The Independent Schools of King Edward VI provide an outstanding and scholarly education to the brightest pupils, in the heart of Birmingham, irrespective of their social or economic background. Through an unrivalled holistic approach, we enable our pupils and staff to pursue excellence in school and beyond, inspiring them to lead fulfilling lives of contribution, purpose and service in their local community and the wider world. 

Aims

We aim:

  • To offer a rich and ambitious programme of academic, co-curricular and service opportunities in a stimulating and supportive environment
  • To foster self-reflective and grounded individuals who have a strong moral compass
  • To generate a culture of scholarship, in which academic outcomes and learning for its own sake are both valued
  • To celebrate the diversity of our communities, cherishing both difference and all that unites us.

Whole School Open Days

There are two Open Events across the Spring, Summer and Autumn terms in 2024, a morning in March, an evening in June and an evening in September, when parents and boys have the opportunity to look around the school, meet pupils, staff and current parents, and hear from the Chief Master.

Existing pupils will act as your tour guide as you visit academic departments, sport, music, drama and also see some of the societies in action. To ensure a comfortable and informative experience for all visitors, we kindly request each prospective pupil limit their guests to two individuals.

Our next Open Day will be held on Saturday 29 March 2025. Registrations will go live shortly.
