From the Head
Welcome to King Edward’s. Our school is the oldest in Southampton, with a long and distinguished history stretching back over 460 years. We are extremely proud of these traditional roots, but we are prouder yet to be recognised as a vibrant, modern institution, dedicated to equipping our pupils with the skills to thrive in the 21st century. As a leading co-educational independent day school, King Edward’s undoubtedly has high academic standards and expectations. Under the guidance of expert teaching staff, our pupils consistently excel in public examinations, and both GCSE and A Level results are exceptional. A summary of these are shown in this booklet. As a result, Sixth Form students regularly gain admittance to leading universities in this country and abroad; this year 87% of our students secured places at the UK’s top 25 universities (including Russell Group and medical schools). However, academic outcomes are only one part of our story. We want our pupils to flourish intellectually, emotionally and in their wider interests. We want them to be kind, caring young people, driven to help others as well as develop their own unique characters. This is facilitated by committed staff, who get to know each individual child, and provide the encouragement the children need to build on their precious pool of self-esteem and confidence. Alongside this focus on pastoral support, we firmly believe that children learn critical life skills by engaging with the world beyond the classroom. At King Edward’s, pupils have unrivalled opportunities to try new activities; to represent the school
www.kes.hants.sch.uk
in sporting, artistic, and intellectual clubs and societies; and to explore the wider world. Recent trips to Vietnam, India, and France, sit alongside many more local day and residential visits. Through involvement in these trips our pupils’ eyes are opened to all the world has to offer, giving them an international perspective and a cultural awareness which is so vital to modern living. Furthermore, the school is deeply committed to charitable and outreach work, with many dedicating free time to our wide-ranging fundraising programme. Our student volunteers frequently work alongside young people at schools and charities across the community, city, and region, as well as further afield through our long-standing partnership with the Goedgedacht Project in South Africa. Over recent years, the school has invested heavily in each of our sites as part of an ongoing commitment to providing world-class educational facilities. As well as our Rural Study Centre at Lovaton on Dartmoor, we own a superb sports grounds at Wellington, which boasts 33 acres of pristine sports fields, netball and tennis courts, and artificial hockey pitches. The main site has seen the refurbishment of the magnificent Dobson Theatre and adjoining Sixth Form area, a library expansion, and upgrades to teaching spaces in several departments. In May 2012,
we also joined with Stroud School, Romsey, creating a King Edward’s preparatory school for the first time, and thereby providing a true 3 to 18-year-old educational experience for the young people of the region. All candidates who meet the required academic standards and whose parents live within a reasonable distance of Southampton may be considered for admission. The age of entry is 11 or 13 years old as of the 1st September, although we do occasionally consider under-age pupils. External applications are also welcomed for Sixth Form places. The School offers a number of bursaries each year, up to a maximum value of 100% of the full fee. Sports awards are available as well as academic and creative arts scholarships. If you would like to register your child, please express your interest via the website at www.kes.hants. sch.uk/admissions. Our prospectus and website hold further information, but the best way to get a flavour of the School is to visit it on a working day. Our Registrar, Mrs Sheppard, would be delighted to give you a tour and answer any questions. Welcome again – I hope to see you soon!

Pastoral Care
The pastoral care of all of our students is a top priority at King Edward’s. The role of the tutor is absolutely vital in this process: they will see your child more often than any other member of staff and will form a close bond as a result.
Pastoral Structure The Lower School comprises the First, Second and Third Years (Years 7, 8 and 9); the Upper School encompasses the Fourth and Fifth Years (Years 10 and 11) and the Sixth Form (Years 12 and 13) embraces the final two years in the School. Tutors
Head of Year
Pupils who join the school in the First Year are allocated to a form, which serves as both their tutor group and their teaching group for this first year. After the First Year, pupils move into a new tutor group and they remain in this tutor group for two years. This means that the tutor groups include pupils from two year groups, which we believe increases the value for everyone and helps to bridge the barriers that might otherwise separate year groups. At the start of the Fourth Year and at the start of the Lower Sixth, pupils will again move into a new tutor group. The tutor is responsible for the supervision, guidance and care of the pupils in his/her tutor group, meeting them every morning at 8.40. Tutors keep records of attendance and academic progress for each pupil
4
in their group and are also aware of individual circumstances and needs. Concerns about day-to-day administration, work, co-curricular activities or other related matters are addressed to the tutor in the first instance. The choice of tutor for each area of the School is very carefully considered in order to maximise their experience and specialisation to the benefit of the pupils. Tutors are assisted by group prefects in the Lower School. These are senior pupils who volunteer for the pastoral care involved and have been chosen by the tutor and the Head of Lower School, in consultation with the Sixth Form pastoral team. The group prefects attend group meetings on a regular basis and are available to offer help and advice to younger pupils.
There are Heads of Year for each of the year groups, one of whom is the Head of Lower School, another is the Head of Upper School. There is also a Director of Sixth Form who oversees the Sixth Form Heads of Year. There is an assistant Head of Year in the Lower School who is responsible for the new pupils who join the school in the Third Year. There is also an assistant Head of Year in the Upper School. All pastoral heads, the Assistant Head (Pastoral) and the Senior Deputy Head are available for consultation when appropriate.

Pastoral Care
Houses All pupils on admission are assigned to one of six Houses, Capon, Lake, Lawrence, Reynolds, Sylvester and Watts; all named after eminent Edwardians.
Tutor Groups A typical Second and Third Year tutor group has approximately sixteen pupils. A similar arrangement exists in the Upper School where each group has a balance of Fourth and Fifth Year pupils. In the Sixth Form each tutor group has approximately twelve students, with a mixture of both year groups. All pupils in the Second to Fifth Years inclusive, as well as being a member of a tutor group, belong to a form for their academic studies.
School Nurses The School Nurses are responsible for first aid and general medical assistance for pupils and are available throughout the school day.
School Counsellor The School Counsellor, who has had specialist training, offers a confidential service to pupils who wish to consult someone other than their tutor or another member of staff. Pupils may do this directly or after referral by their tutor.
Personal, Social and Health Education The Head of PSHE coordinates all PSHE activities across the School. PSHE activities take place during group base, First Year tutorial period and on specific PSHE days.
KES PTA KES PTA (our parents’ association) is open to all friends of the school including parents, staff, Governors and Old Edwardians, and plays an essential part in supporting the school. The Council is elected at the AGM in the autumn and meets each term. The main objectives are to promote the school and supplement its facilities. Regular social functions are the New Pupil and Parents’ Evening in September and the Annual Quiz. As well as organising many social and fund-raising functions, the society runs the OBNO (Outgrown But Not Outworn) secondhand uniform shop.

Notes:
Notes:
Pupils choose one of French or German or Spanish as their first modern foreign language. Friday afternoons are devoted to the Extended Study Programme, comprising six different units over the school year.
Pupils choose an additional modern foreign language alongside the continued study of the Language studied in the First Year. Pupils study either Latin or Classical Civilisation.
Class Sizes
Notes: MFL2 indicates modern language 2. Pupils start a two-year course leading to Religious Studies short course GCSE at the end of the Fourth Year. The option subjects are chosen from Art, Music, Design Technology, Theatre Studies, Latin, Classical Civilisation, or Computing. At least one of these options must be from the four creative subjects.
On entering the Lower School, pupils are taught within classes of, on average, 22. Once in the Sixth Form, classes are smaller still with an average class size of 8 this year. Small teaching groups throughout the School are supported by the very latest technology and modern facilities including an extensive use of 1:1 digital learning.

Plus three of: History, Geography, Economics, Philosophy & Ethics, Latin, Classical Civilisation, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Computer Science, Sports Science, Art, Music, Design Technology, Theatre Studies. Those opting for Philosophy & Ethics will take the Higher Project Qualification (HPQ) instead of the short course Religious Studies examination in the Fourth Year.
Sixth Form Students study three or four subjects in the Lower Sixth, and most will concentrate on three subjects in the Upper Sixth. The Foundation Studies programme is followed by all in the Lower Sixth.
Reporting Parents receive one formal written report during the course of the year and a parents’ evening provides an opportunity to discuss academic progress with teachers. Half term progress grades are given for all pupils. Parents are invited to contact the tutor in the first instance if they wish to raise any matter relating to their child’s school work or to arrange an individual meeting.
Upper Sixth students taking three subjects to full A Level may take the Extended Project or follow Foundation Studies courses (general studies). In addition, all have Open Forum (our lecture programme) and four periods of Games in both Lower and Upper Sixth. Full details are provided in the Sixth Form Guide.

The Sixth Form, Higher Education, and Careers
The Sixth Form
Higher Education
The Sixth Form is a very important and exciting time in the life of a King Edward’s student. In terms of the curriculum, many students blossom when they are able to choose and concentrate upon the subjects that really appeal to them. In additional to curriculum time, there are many opportunities for leadership roles, and we look to help students develop their wider skill set through a comprehensive Foundation Studies course and there is a wide-ranging co-curricular programme.
Most of our students proceed to university when they leave King Edward’s, with a majority heading to Russell Group universities. Typically, 6% of each cohort move on to Oxbridge and around 10% will study medicine.
Sixth Form students are taught their lessons throughout the School building, and are an integral part of the community. The students do, however, have their own study area. Please see the separate Sixth Form Guide for more information about the Sixth Form at King Edward’s.
Our higher education programme runs for the full two years of Sixth Form and advice and support continues after students receive their A Level results, once they have already left KES. Much of the HE training and information is delivered through the regular Foundation Studies sessions. In addition, we host, run and organise assemblies, talks, lectures, visiting speakers and workshops, covering everything from studying abroad to degree apprenticeships, taking a gap year and CV writing. Former KES students are invited back to share their experiences and advise the current Sixth Formers. We organise Open Day visits to a number of universities and promote a huge variety of university summer courses, taster days and subject-specific sessions. Our dedicated Higher Education team is always available, offering one-to-one advice and guidance for Sixth Form students to help them make the best possible choices for their future success and happiness.
Careers Careers education is delivered in all year groups and the programme is intrinsically linked to the pastoral system and is delivered by tutors, year heads, careers specialists and those in charge of organising the academic curriculum. KES students are introduced to various career software programmes at an early age to help make them aware of the breadth and depth of career options available to them. Advice on academic option selection is delivered to ensure that students’ GCSE and A Level choices match any career plans they may have. Psychometric testing is introduced in the Third and Fourth Years. These are designed to help suggest career avenues that play to a student’s academic and social strengths, whilst matching their own ideas of what may or may not be important to them in their future careers. Every member of the Fifth Year also receives faceto-face careers advice. This continues into the Sixth Form, where we operate an open-door policy for careers guidance. The HE & Careers Department and our dedicated HE & Careers library, are located in the Sixth Form centre to ensure easy access to specialist resources and advice.

Transport System
At King Edward’s we recognise how important it is to provide suitable transport for our pupils and currently circa 700 pupils use it on a daily basis. Arrival time at school is approximately 08:15 and buses depart at 16:10.
Bus Prefects act as a point of contact for pupils on each bus. At the start of the school year prefects are provided with a written brief of the action to take in an emergency and receive a verbal briefing from the Assistant Head (Pastoral).
To accommodate those in after school activities we offer a late bus service, which operates separate bus routes to the daily routes. Late buses do not have all the same drop off points as the daily buses, and are provided to save parents the drive into Southampton during rush hour. Late buses depart at 17:30 and are on a request stop basis; stop times are dependent upon the passenger requirements each day.
Places on the buses are allocated in strict order of receipt of the electronic registration form. The termly fare is payable in advance and appears on the school bill issued by the Accounts Department. If parents wish to terminate the use of the bus, one term’s written notice is required, otherwise a full term’s fare will be charged. Should you require any further details regarding the operation of the King Edward VI Transport Association (KETA) including the stops and timetables for each route, full details can be found on the school website www.kes.hants.sch.uk under ‘Admissions’.

Fees, Scholarships, and Bursaries
Fees
Applications
The termly fee for the Autumn Term 2020 was held at current levels, in light of the coronavirus pandemic. As part of our commitment to supporting our parent community through this difficult period, an additional decision was made to extend the freeze of the main school fee for the Spring Term as well. This will be reviewed for April 2021, and any change in fee level notified to parents in December 2020. The Spring term fee level is therefore £5,535 all-inclusive with a 5% reduction for brothers and sisters who are not receiving any bursary awards. Optional extras include: dinners, school bus, insurance, instrumental tuition, specialist sports, visits and tours. The Governors try to maintain the fee for the academic year but reserve the right to alter it, if necessary (giving parents a term’s notice).
A £50 non-returnable fee is charged for an application except when the application to be considered is for a bursary place only when the fee is £25.
Payment Payments are by direct debit on the first day of term unless an alternative arrangement has been agreed. Third party companies provide monthly payment options, details of which will be forwarded with the autumn term fee account. Parents are advised to take independent financial advice should they wish to use any third party payment options.
Deposit If, in due course, a place is offered, a deposit of £200 will be payable when the offer is accepted. This deposit will be repaid, without interest, within three months of the pupil leaving the school less any sums due to the school on leaving.

Lunches Autumn 2020, the cost of lunch is £4.70 per day. This will rise to £4.85 per day in spring 2021.
Withdrawal One term’s notice in writing of the intention to withdraw a pupil from the School must be given. Without such notice a term’s fee in lieu of notice is due.
Insurance Fees cannot be refunded for absence and parents are advised to take advantage of the school fees remission scheme, details of which are forwarded when a pupil enters the school. Parents are also invited to consider insuring the payment of school fees in the event of the death of the fee payer. Parents are advised to take independent advice should they wish to use any third party insurance options.
your gross family income is below approximately £32,000 you may qualify for a full bursary. If your gross family income is in excess of approximately £73,000 you would not qualify for any assistance. Between these two figures a sliding scale will operate. This scale is subject to annual review. Once awarded, the entitlement to a Foundation bursary will remain with a pupil throughout his or her time at the School and will be reviewed annually.
Academic Scholarships A limited number of scholarships are available to entrants at age 11+ and 13+, valued at up to 10% of the fee per annum. These will be awarded on the results of the Admissions Examination, taking into account the recommendations of the Head Teacher. The scholarships awarded at 11+ are tenable for three years and those awarded at 13+ are tenable for one year. There is no need to apply for an Academic scholarship as all applicants are automatically eligible.
Bursaries The School will offer a number of means-tested Foundation bursaries each year to pupils entering the First and Third Years and the Sixth Form. Bursaries will have a maximum value of 100% of the full fee which would value them at £16,605 in 2019-2020. In addition to taking account of all relevant sources of income, the school takes account of relevant capital assets. Applicants should note that subject to your capital assets, if

Fees, Scholarships and Bursaries
Creative Arts Scholarships
Drama Scholarships
Sports Awards
Creative Arts scholarships are available at 11+ in Music, Art and Drama and at 13+ in Music only. These are valued at up to 5% of the fee per annum and are tenable for three years (one year for the 13+ Music scholarship). Candidates may apply for one Creative Art scholarship only. The successful candidates would be expected, during the tenure of their award, to make an important and continuing contribution to the Creative Arts at the School. Candidates applying for a Creative Arts scholarship may also apply for a Sports Award.
The candidates on the shortlist will be invited to attend individual auditions and interviews and a group workshop. Auditions will take place in front of the Head of Drama, another member of the Drama Department and the other auditionees. In addition, each child will have a short, informal chat about their performance experience and their interest in Drama. The final session will be a whole group workshop in which the children may be asked to work on various games, improvisations and sketches together.
At King Edward’s we value sport and it is a very important part of the school’s ethos. Each year a number of Sports Awards are available for those applying to join us at both 11+ and at 13+. In addition to the receipt of an award, the recipient will be a member of the Elite Sports Performer Programme in which we support the individual’s sporting development within the whole school environment. We invite applications from children with a passion for sport who have achieved, or shown the potential to achieve, a high level of sporting performance in at least one of the school’s major sports; hockey, rugby, netball and cricket.
Music Scholarships Candidates at 11+ should have reached approximately the standard of grade 5 in one instrument (grade 6 for 13+ candidates). The ability to sing or some competence in a second instrument would be regarded as an additional, though not essential, qualification. Auditions will be held and shortlisted candidates will be asked to play two prepared pieces of contrasting styles. Candidates may offer singing, the piano or any orchestral instrument. Both pieces may be played on the same instrument: alternatively, where two instruments are offered, one piece may be played on the candidate’s first instrument, the other on the second. Candidates will also be asked to play a piece of sight-reading on the first instrument.
16
Art Scholarships Candidates should prepare a portfolio of their own work. Candidates must display both a flair for, and an interest in, the subject. From the portfolios we receive, a shortlist of candidates will be drawn up and invited to attend a workshop. The morning will consist of an interview with a member of the department where candidates will have the opportunity to discuss their work and interest in Art. There will be two set tasks whereby candidates can demonstrate their talents in observational drawing, imagination and three dimensional skills.
A shortlist of applicants will be invited to attend a selection day. This will involve a morning of fitness assessment and an afternoon of team sport coaching sessions that will focus on competitive sporting performance. Candidates may apply for a Sports Award as well as a Creative Arts scholarship.

Admissions Examination
Format and Content of Admissions Examination Each 11+ and 13+ candidate is tested in three areas: Reasoning, English and Mathematics. No special preparation is expected or required for the tests and past papers are not published for tests at any level. Questions are based on the National Curriculum for each age group.
Reasoning
English
10 minute practice paper 45 minute test paper
20 minute Reading Comprehension paper 30 minute Writing Paper
The reasoning tests examine a range of intelligence skills and will include questions on words and numbers.
The Reading Paper requires candidates to answer questions on an extract from a children’s novel. At 11+ it is entirely multiple choice, whilst 13+ also requires written answers. Initial questions involve understanding of basic plot, later ones might ask for interpretation or analysis of language. The Writing Paper requires students to choose from three titles: they may be asked to write a letter, the words for a speech, a debate, a story, a newspaper article and so on. Spelling and punctuation are very important, but focus and structure are also rewarded. The best answers are lively, original and full of flair. Â

Student Quotes
26
“ KES has been a great place to start my secondary school education. It has enabled me to develop my strengths and build on my weaknesses. Also, it has a wide range of musical opportunities ranging from Chamber Orchestra to music competitions. I have been able to really stretch myself and expand my skills.”
“ After seven years of being a KES student, I can say for certain that I made the right choice of school. I was never the most academically able or sporty student but the culture here is one of developing existing skills, encouraging new talent and never leaving any individual to settle for anything less than that of which they are capable. I am so grateful that this has been the case. Otherwise my trajectory would have been very different. Furthermore, the vast array of experiences and opportunities to travel outside of the classroom that have been available to me have been an invaluable source of personal development.”
