King Edward VI School in Stratford-upon-Avon has been named the best secondary school in the Midlands according to the latest national league tables released by The Telegraph. Ranked 18th across the country, the school’s outstanding exam results, high attendance, and overall excellence have secured its place among the top educational institutions in the UK.
This distinction reinforces King Edward VI’s reputation, following its recent recognition as the best school in the Midlands by the Sunday Times Parent Power Guide. As a selective grammar school, admission requires students to pass an entrance exam, attracting some of the brightest pupils from the region and beyond. Despite this, the school does not charge tuition, ensuring access based on ability rather than financial background.
With a rich history that includes the Bard himself, William Shakespeare, counted among its alumni, King Edward VI continues to uphold academic excellence. Its last Ofsted inspection in November 2021 resulted in an ‘outstanding’ rating across all categories. Inspectors praised the school as a vibrant community where pupils flourish, staff hold high expectations, and a passion for learning is encouraged in every classroom.
