65% achieved five or more A* - C, including English and Maths – a new record for the school and 7% up on last year.

The 2010 GCSE Examination Results are very pleasing, with more students than ever achieving five or more passes at Grade C and above (74%), 2.5% up on last year.

Headteacher Beverley Jackson commented “At King Edward VII School we are used to academic excellence and are delighted that once again the school’s results this year are remarkable.  Our students and their teachers deserve our praise and congratulations.  The unstinting support of parents is also a very precious asset for which we are grateful”.

King Edward VII Students celebrate A* success with high levels of achievement in the new, more challenging A Levels.

Outstanding KES students are today celebrating excellent results. 28 students achieved at least one grade A*; A* results accounted for 7.5% of the grades achieved demonstrating the academic excellence of the Sixth Form.  Four students gained A* in all their examinations, eight students achieved a mixture of As and A* and a further 12 students gained all grade As.   The overall pass rate was over 97%, with 50% of the results being classed A* - B.

Commenting on the results, Headteacher Beverley Jackson said:  “I am delighted with the well deserved performance of King Edward VII students, which represent a great deal of hard work by both students and teachers.”

Welcome to the web-site of King Edward VII School, Sheffield. I hope you will find it helpful and informative and that it conveys something of the richness of the life of our School.

King Edward VII School is a dynamic, forward-looking and confident comprehensive school. It aims to meet the future needs of our young people and the world they inhabit. Students come to the School from all parts of Sheffield and from all backgrounds, often as a result of parental preference. This diversity well reflects the City of Sheffield and at the same time gives the School one of its great strengths.

The School is pleased to announce that the planned refurbishment and additional buildings at Upper School have been confirmed by the Government. Lower School and Upper School will also benefit significantly from a major upgrade in ICT infrastructure and equipment.

A new STEM centre (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) to be built at the back of the main building is due for completion by January 2012. The ICT refurbishment at Lower School is planned to be completed over the summer holiday 2011 ready for September.
