Prospectus
King Edward’s has been a feature of Southampton life for over 450 years, drawing pupils from across south Hampshire from as far as Salisbury, Andover, Fareham and the New Forest. Many of our students use our own bus company to reach us.
For generations parents have chosen the School for its academic rigour, diversity of opportunity and the challenge offered by the range of sporting, cultural, musical and dramatic activities.
King Edward’s has long fostered an open, friendly and enthusiastic approach to education, combining the pursuit of excellence with a truly modern focus on preparing boys and girls for a world that demands teamwork, a willingness to keep on learning throughout life and take the lead. Our success can be measured by outstanding academic results over a long period and by the confidence and maturity that is the mark of pupils at the School. I hope this prospectus will give you a flavour of what makes King Edward’s distinctive and encourage you to visit us soon. You will be made very welcome.
Julian Thould - Head Master
King Edward’s is Southampton’s oldest school. Our success has been rooted in continuous investment in new facilities and the prudent management of our resources. Education is a rapidly changing field. We are in the middle of an extensive multi-million pound programme of redevelopment with the intention that over the coming five years we will have new facilities for science, technology, outward-bound activities, culture and sport. Learning is increasingly dominated by ICT and we have a commitment to new technology, recognising the growing role it plays in schools.
We expect our students to operate in a world marked by rapid change. They will have to be flexible and adaptable. We prepare our students for their future through emphasis on initiative, responsibility and independence. The Governing Body shares the common objective to keep King Edward’s at the forefront of education, recognising the need for excellence and opportunity within the context of over 450 years of tradition.
