It has been a time of sporting success recently with a series of triumphs.
The U16 Hockey team won the County Championship, beating Rugby School in the final; the U14 and U16 Badminton teams won the Birmingham Schools Area Finals, both teams now qualifying for the Regional Finals to be held on 7th March and Paolo Odogwu has successfully made it through to the final stage of the Rugby England U16 selection.
King Edward’s School was inspected in November 2025, meeting standards in all areas and being awarded the rare distinction of a “significant strength” for the way in which pupils develop a strong sense of belonging.

King Edward’s School, Birmingham (KES) has once again been named the highest performing day school for boys, either independent or state, in the West Midlands.
