For the first time in a few years the year 9 intake for The King Edward VI School has not been over subscribed; in fact a small number of spaces are available for a September 2016 start.
There has been a reduced number of students joining from the 3 middle schools this year due to population demographics.
Enquiries for admissions should be directed to Mark Simpson, Head of School.
