Sixth Form

Our Sixth Formers, whether full, weekly or flexi boarders or day pupils, play a full part in School and House life, enjoying a more independent approach to studying and preparing for life after King Edward’s, developing their leadership, communication and project-management skills.

Our sixth formers study in small class sizes, with UK and international pupils learning from their diverse backgrounds and experiences. We offer a large range of academic subjects in our sixth form and support our pupils in their academic and non-academic choices to maximise their opportunities to transition to high quality universities and exciting careers.

Our year 13, upper sixth, pupils transition to Jubilee House, opened in 2022 and designed as a stepping stone to the independence they will enjoy after leaving school at University and in their careers. Jubilee House supports our pupils’ academic progress, personal development, community and wellbeing, and our upper sixth tutor team work in house in the evenings to provide further subject specialism and university preparation support.

Jubilee House is built around shared work spaces, with en-suite boarding spaces as well as flexi-boarding provision to suit the needs of day pupils. We have spaces for our senior pupils to develop life skills, including a teaching kitchen, several laundries, and a presentation area in addition to social spaces, a games area and a garden, during an unforgettable final year at King Edward’s.
