King Edward’s High School for Girls,
top Midlands school...
King Edward VI High School for
Girls, Edgbaston is celebrating an
outstanding year of achievement –
academic, artistic, sporting and
scientific. This summer it achieved
its best GCSE results for over a
decade, topping the league table
of Midlands schools with 92% of
all exams graded A* or A. Proving
that KEHS is not just an academic
powerhouse, Alice Coward, 16,
from Kings Norton, an England
junior netball international and
talented trumpeter, achieved a
string of A*s despite a gruelling
schedule of matches and training
sessions.
The school’s A level results were
also excellent: a 100% pass rate
with 87% of all subjects achieving
A* - B grades and a string of
brilliant individual performances.
Multi-talented Ellen Miller from
Solihull, 18, scored one of the top
sets of A level results in the
country with 6 A*s, securing her a
coveted place to read Natural
Sciences at Jesus College,
Cambridge.
No wonder the Sunday Times
named KEHS as the top Midlands
Open Days
school, while the Good Schools’
Guide has just selected it among
Britain’s ‘Ten of the Best’
independent schools for academic
excellence and value for money.
The only West Midlands school on
the list, it was praised for its
outstanding results, liberal,
inclusive atmosphere and
generous financial help to ensure
the school is accessible to bright
girls, irrespective of parental
income.
“Of course we’re proud of our
wonderful results,” said KEHS
Principal Ann Clark, “but we’re
about far more than just stellar
grades, league table success and
top university places. It’s important
to us to capture our students’
imaginations and stimulate their
intellectual curiosity in a friendly,
caring environment, so that they
discover their particular passions.
Our brilliant girls are tomorrow’s
leaders and we help them develop
the drive and confidence to aim
high. I’d like to invite anyone
interested in finding out more to
come and see what makes us
unique.”
