Welcome to King Edward VI High School, a place where we encourage and support all our learners to "be the best that they can be". All schools that provide a high-quality education like King Edward VI not only offers academic challenge and support but also places great emphasis on the personal development and well-being of all pupils. Please browse our website to find out more about our vibrant and exciting school community. Mr J Christey
Headteacher

The Free Grammar School of King Edward VI was first established in Stafford in 1550 to provide free education to young boys. In 1862 a new building was erected for the school on Newport Road and would serve as the home of the boys' grammar school for well over 100 years. Stafford Girls' High School was established in 1907 as a grammar school for girls and was based at The Oval, just off the Lichfield Road, with some accommodation for students at The Hough Cottage (now an Italian restaurant). The school later moved to a new site off West Way, close to Stafford Castle; the modern home of King Edward VI High School. In 1977 King Edward VI Grammar School and Stafford Girls' High School were amalgamated to create a comprehensive off West Way. The old King Edward VI building on Newport Road remained in education hands and was turned over to Chetwynd Middle School before later becoming what is now known as the Chetwynd Centre, home of the Stafford Collegiate, where many Post-16 subjects are taught as part of an agreement between the Stafford secondary schools and Stafford College of Further Education. The old girls' school buildings on The Oval also remained in education hands, later becoming an art college before being converted into residential apartments
