2027 marks a wonderful milestone for King Edward’s School as we celebrate our 475th anniversary.

For nearly five centuries, our school has been shaped by remarkable people, enduring traditions and an unwavering commitment to excellence. This anniversary year will honour that rich heritage while looking confidently to the future.

To mark the start of our celebrations, we are delighted to share our 475 launch film, which captures the spirit, purpose and community at the heart of King Edward’s.

Throughout the coming months, we look forward to sharing a vibrant programme of events and projects, and welcoming parents, pupils, staff, alumni and friends of the school to be part of this unforgettable year.
