Welcome

I have been the Head Master of King Edward’s since 2002. The School has a long and distinguished history and it has been at the heart of Southampton  for over 450 years. However, while proud of our heritage, we are a very forward looking, vibrant and dynamic institution.

We aim to prepare students for a rapidly changing world. We combine the pursuit of academic excellence with a range of opportunity and challenge to develop self-confident and independent young people who have a strong sense of community and will become responsible and reflective future leaders. High quality teaching, a strong sense of belonging and the space to grow and achieve full potential is what we offer at King Edward’s.

We hope that you will visit us to see for yourselves. Why not come along to one of our open evenings or visit us on a normal school day and have a tour of our principal site on Hill Lane. You will be made very welcome!
