Info

Amazing curriculum With 17 subjects taught in Year 7 we believe we have a curriculum second to none. Alongside the important subjects of Mathematics and English we teach Biology, Chemistry and Physics as separate sciences from Year 7. We have an amazing range of humanities at Key Stage 4 including Psychology, Sociology, Economics and Politics alongside History, Geography, Philosophy and Ethics taught in Year 7. We teach Art, Music and Drama as well as a special Artsbox course. We teach Computer Science, Design Technology, Food Technology and an exciting project to build a computer. We teach French, German and Spanish in the school as well as Physical Education and Dance. Academic Excellence Last year 80% of all GCSE grades were Grade 4 and above and students achieved a record 151 Grade 9s. Our Attainment 8 was 49 which is above national average. Our results have been strong for many years with the school always having a strong positive Progress 8 (most recent, in 2019, was +0.26 which means students at King Edward VI School, achieve well above national rates of progress). Great learning Learning is at the heart of everything we do and to make this happen we invest heavily in teaching. We have great teachers at the school and train up many new teachers every year working with Cambridge University to get the very best people in front of our students. We value deep subject knowledge and have three teachers with PhDs. We work tirelessly to provide exciting learning experiences on a daily basis, delivered with inspirational and research-based teaching methods. We want your child to love coming to school and love learning.
