Destinations and Results
King Edward’s pupils boast diverse aspirations, and their onward journeys from our school reflect their ambition. We have an extensive Next Steps careers and university discovery and preparation approach, commencing from year 7 and leading to a comprehensive sixth form counselling programme. Each year around two thirds of our pupils transition to Oxbridge and Russell Group universities; others progress to a range of other, often specialist universities, to apprenticeships or directly to their chosen careers.
In addition to the wide range of post-18 destinations our pupils progress to, they are encouraged to explore the widest range of higher education disciplines. Their inquisition is reflected in the breadth of programmes our leavers enjoy; in 2024 alone, these included English, Engineering, Fashion Management, Football Coaching, Industrial Economics, Illustration, Medicine and Modern Languages amongst many more. We are proud of our pupils’ results, and of the personal paths they choose as their next steps after leaving King Edward’s.
