Welcome to King Edward's School
We are delighted that your son will be joining our Sixth Form in September. We very much look forward to welcoming your family into our community.
Over the coming months, we will ensure that both you and your son feel confident and prepared for the start of term. From induction events to early opportunities to meet classmates, we want every boy to arrive in September feeling excited about the adventure ahead.
Let the adventure begin: Induction Day
All new Sixth Formers are invited to our full induction day on Tuesday 7 July and Wednesday 8 July 2026.
On this day, your son will:

Explore the school, getting familiar with his new environment
Take part in engaging activities designed to help him feel confident and supported at school
By the end of the day, your son will feel like a valued member of the KES community - ready and excited to join us in September.
