Head's Recommendation

The Head’s Recommendation is an exclusive pathway available only to pupils at our preparatory schools,

King Edward VI Preparatory in Romsey and Prince’s Mead in Winchester.

This pathway guarantees 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 approach ensures that pupils who are suited to the academic rigour of the Senior School are able to transition seamlessly, with confidence and continuity.

Neal Parker, Head at King Edward VI School said:

“The Head’s Recommendation has been a fantastic development within our partnership with King Edward VI Preparatory. It reflects the trust we have in our preparatory schools’ teaching and assessment, and the shared commitment to high academic standards and pupil wellbeing. We are thrilled to extend this opportunity to our newest partnership with Prince’s Mead, ensuring that even more families can benefit from a smooth and supportive transition into the Senior School.”
