King Edward VI School Named Among Top 10 Schools in the South West by The Sunday Times
King Edward VI School is proud to be recognised among the top 10 schools in the South West in The Sunday Times Parent Power 2026 league tables, based on exceptional A Level and GCSE results achieved in the Summer 2025 examinations.
This accolade reinforces King Edward's position as Hampshire’s leading independent day school and reflects the school’s long-standing commitment to academic excellence, outstanding teaching and a culture where every pupil is supported to achieve their best.
This recognition also follows a standout year for KES, having been named a finalist for Independent School of the Year. Together, these honours speak to the broader KES experience, combining high academic standards with exceptional opportunities in sport, the arts, enrichment and leadership.
Neal Parker, Head said “This recognition from The Sunday Times celebrates not only excellent teaching and academic achievement, but the determination, hard work and ambition our pupils show every single day. To be ranked among the top schools in the South West, alongside being a finalist for Independent School of the Year, is a wonderful affirmation of everything that makes KES special. Well done to all our pupils and teachers"
