About King Edward VI High School

King Edward VI High School is a mixed, comprehensive, non-denominational secondary school with sixth form situated in Westway, Stafford. It is a community state school, smaller than average, and will provide 1,049 places to secondary and sixth-form students aged 11-18, when fully subscribed.

The school was established in 1550, providing free education to young boys under the name of the Free Grammar School of King Edward VI. In 1907, Stafford Girls’ High School was established nearby to provide a grammar school education for girls. Seventy years later, King Edward VI Grammar School and Stafford Girls’ High School were amalgamated to create King Edward VI High School.

Ofsted

“Pupils are cared for well in school. Leaders have created a culture of safety in school and pupils know whom they can turn to if they need help and advice. Their overall attendance is above average. There are examples of good and effective practice in school. Some teachers know how to get the best from pupils and when this happens, pupils make sustained progress.”
