Saturday, 27 September 2025
5.30pm - 8.00pm

Opportunity, engagement and aspiration are key watchwords at the heart of an exceptional all-round education at King Edward’s Senior School (for ages 11-16 years), that encourages pupils to follow their passions and gives them the confidence to find their voice and to make a difference.

We are both proud of the academic excellence and success for which KES is renowned and also keen to celebrate our pupils’ efforts and achievements in many different fields. We place great value on the virtues of doing your best, making the most of the incredible opportunities on offer and aiming high, whilst also keeping your feet on the ground and supporting others.

Visit us on our next Open Morning on the 27th September to meet our staff and pupils and to find out for yourselves what makes the Senior School a very special place.
