The mission of the King Edward VI Foundation (the “Foundation”) is to make Birmingham the best place to be educated in the UK. A progressive, influential educational charity, King Edward VI Foundation’s reputation is underpinned by a long and distinguished history. King Edward’s School was established in 1552 by King Edward VI, part of the early growth of secular education in England.

The 21st century has brought the formation of the King Edward VI Academy Trust, a means of expanding from our original five grammar schools to a current family of eleven academies and two independent schools. Six of the academies are selective; five are comprehensive, some serving Birmingham’s most deprived communities. To serve the city’s children, we recognise that we need to provide a diverse range of schools: independent as well as Academies, selective and also comprehensive.
