Welcome to King Edward VII School

King Edward VII School is a unique and exceptional 11-18 comprehensive school in the City of Sheffield. It is a school that is steeped in history that dates back to 1604. Our students are keen, aspirational learners and our staff and governors are tremendously proud of our school community, our culture, our success and history.

King Edward VII School is an ambitious learning community where a culture of high expectations exists for students, staff and governors, expecting all to embody our values of integrity, curiosity and resilience. Although we have seven main feeder schools, young learners join us into Year 7 from across the City of Sheffield as a direct result of parental preference and we share our ambition that as many as possible of those Year 7 students will decide and be able to spend seven years with us, joining our hugely successful Sixth Form after Year 11. Our school is brilliantly diverse and we value this immensely as a unique strength in that young people experience, first hand, a special, harmonious learning community that acknowledges differences, enhances tolerance and prepares them well for life in an increasingly complex and challenging global world. 

We strive to ensure that the quality of teaching, learning and assessment that we provide for our students is the highest possible, aiming for every student to have access to the same life-affirming opportunities and support, to help them to succeed in school and in their future lives, regardless of their different starting points.

Parents, carers and families are the most important influences on the lives of young people, and we work in partnership with them to support our students to excel, thrive and achieve. Excellent working relationships between home and School our essential for this. We welcome the active involvement of parents in the life of the School to foster a positive learning community for each young person and strengthen their sense of belonging.

King Edward VII School is an outward looking school with excellent partnerships and links with external organisations and stakeholders - always seeking to strengthen these with new opportunities. It is essential to staff and governors that our young people feel safe, happy and valued as individuals in their own right while part of a very special community.

Please do not hesitate to contact the School should you require further information.

Yours sincerely

Mrs Louisa Warde
Headteacher
