King Edward VI School in Southampton, a school where tradition and innovation come together to create an exceptional educational experience. With a history spanning over 465 years, King Edward's is a prestigious independent day school in Hampshire known for its academic excellence and commitment to nurturing every child.

At King Edward's, we believe that education extends beyond academic achievement. Our goal is to cultivate well-rounded individuals who are not only academically proficient but also confident, independent, and equipped with the skills to thrive in the modern world. We place each student at the heart of our mission, ensuring that they develop both the intellectual and personal qualities needed for success.

Our school is renowned for its impressive academic results, but we also emphasise the importance of a diverse range of skills and interests. We strive to balance academic rigor with opportunities for personal growth, fostering a strong sense of community and preparing students to become thoughtful, responsible leaders. Our high-quality teaching, supportive environment, and resources are all designed to help students reach their full potential.

King Edward's boasts an array of outstanding facilities that enhance the learning experience. These include a newly built library, a state-of-the-art theatre, a vibrant Art Department, and a modern Sixth Form Centre. The school's classrooms are designed to inspire and support students' educational journeys. Additionally, our superb sports facilities at Wellington and the Rural Studies Centre on Dartmoor provide valuable extracurricular opportunities. Embracing technology, we integrate tablet devices into our teaching to enrich students' learning both inside and outside the classroom.

Our preparatory school, King Edward VI Preparatory in Romsey, offers a nurturing and family-oriented environment in a beautiful rural setting. Catering to children in our Nursery from age 2, KES Prep provides a gentle introduction to education with a focus on creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

We invite you to visit King Edward's and experience our vibrant community for yourself. A personal tour on a typical school day will give you a glimpse of what makes our school special and how we can support your child's educational journey.
