Welcome to King Edward VI School
Welcome to the website for King Edward VI School, Stratford-upon-Avon. K.E.S. is an independent Academy Trust selective school for boys, with high academic standards and an outstanding co-curricular programme. From September 2013 we will be admitting girls into the Sixth Form for the first time in our 460 year history.
It is known to have been in existence from 1295 and was re-founded by the Charter of King Edward VI. The poet and playwright William Shakespeare attended the School in the 1570s, leading to our being widely known as Shakespeare’s School.
