About

About King Edward VI High School for Girls King Edward VI High School for Girls was founded in 1883 and is one of the leading independent schools in the UK. Based in the leafy suburb of Edgbaston, the school shares a 50-acre site with King Edward's School , which provides extensive space and facilities matched by few day schools in the country.

King Edward VI High School for Girls is a school with around 650 pupils aged from 11 to 18. Our school is synonymous with intellectual ambition, with a mission to offer an unrivalled education to the brightest girls in and around Birmingham irrespective of their social or economic background.

Our girls contribute to academic journals, win extraordinary awards and go onto study at the best universities.

Exceptional results are not the aims of our education, although they open many doors they are the natural consequence of an inspiring, broad and interconnected education which enables all girls to make excellent progress and develop their individual strengths and passions.
