Since 2012, KES Prep and King Edward VI School have maintained a proud partnership. To enhance our partnership we have introduced the Head's Recommendation.
KES Prep children achieving at the appropriate level in their studies by the end of Year 5 will be given a guaranteed place at our senior school, King Edward VI School, for Year 7, without the risks and anxiety associated with an external examination route.
“KES Prep pupils represent our biggest intake into Year 7 each September. In recent years we have sought to build on our close relationship, benefiting both our primary and secondary pupils and teachers through mutual collaboration and sharing of best practice. We know that the teaching and learning at KES Prep is exceptional, and that we can rely on the expertise of the KES Prep academic staff to give a Head’s Recommendation to those pupils who will benefit from the learning environment offered by KES. We are looking forward to welcoming our first cohort of Head’s Recommendation entrants in September 2024, after the process is introduced over the next academic year. This is but one more step towards building a truly exceptional 3-18 offering for families across our region."
Neal Parker, Head, King Edward VI School
