As a school we had multiple trips to the theatre, art galleries and other exciting venues which increased their cultural capital throughout the school year. We also have the whole school production, we take part in the Shakespeare Schools Festival every year and the students put on a Performing Arts Showcase in the summer.
We also hosted our Shanghai 2024 Visit this year which was a huge success and cemented our international relationship with another country.

Our Values
For us, at King Edward VI, learning is not just about passing examinations but experiencing a rich education beyond the classroom. We believe this is critical for developing the character, emotional intelligence and life skills which will ensure our students are set up for success throughout their lives. Part of our core mission comes from our Church of England foundation which is committed to ensuring that standards in the school are exemplary, while supporting their spiritual and ethical development. Everything we do is underpinned by our values of Curiosity, Care, Courage and Creativity. It is through living these values together that we are the vibrant learning community which supports our students and help them build the exciting futures which they deserve.
