Since 2012, King Edward VI School and KES Prep (formerly Stroud) have maintained a proud partnership. To further enhance the partnership we have introduced the Head's Recommendation.
KES Prep pupils moving to Year 7 at King Edward VI School are able to secure their place based on consistent academic performance, rather than through the traditional entrance exam. This ‘Head’s Recommendation’ pathway allows pupils from our preparatory school to receive a guaranteed place at KES, provided they demonstrate the academic potential required to succeed at the senior school.
“Stroud School is the KES preparatory school, and Stroud pupils represent our biggest intake into Year 7 each September. In recent years we have sought to build on our close relationship, benefitting both our primary and secondary pupils and teachers through mutual collaboration and sharing of best practice. We know that the teaching and learning at Stroud is exceptional, and that we can rely on the expertise of the Stroud 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."
Mr. Neal Parker, Head
