Since its foundation in 1553, King Edward's has invariably been ahead of its time without losing sight of its traditional strengths.

• King Edward’s is academically selective, but not a ‘hothouse’. We gauge people on their potential, and deliberately select from a wide range of talents, within the top 50% ability range.
• We offer really good teaching, with a broad range of subjects. Our individual approach throughout the curriculum encourages responsibility for the self and for learning. We adopt streaming in most subjects and are consistently ranked as one of the top 10 IB co-ed schools in the UK.
• We teach the International Baccalaureate Diploma at Sixth Form as we strongly believe this is the right qualification for that age group. It creates individual learners and thinkers and fosters independence from an earlier age and is an excellent preparation for university.
• King Edward’s is in a beautiful location, on a 100 acre site in rural Surrey, but with excellent transport links to London and the South East.
• Our curriculum extends way beyond the classroom. A full range of sports and activities are an everyday part of school life, catering for every talent and taste.
• We have superb sports facilities, including an astro turf pitch, swimming pool, sports centre and climbing wall.
• We have a tradition of excellence in Music, Drama and the Visual Arts, all supported by first-rate facilities.
• King Edward’s prepares children for adult life. We have a fully co-educational ethos and our diverse range of pupils creates a community that reflects the real world. Paired housing allows boys and girls to grow up together, with added maturity and mutual respect.
• Our pastoral care is second to none. It is at the heart of everything we do and creates responsible but happy pupils, who are proud of their School and their achievements.
• We provide excellent individual care, with a tutor system for each pupil and at least three residential staff present in each boarding house.
• Our class sizes are kept small in every year, with a high teacher-pupil ratio throughout.
• We offer choice with full boarding, flexi-boarding, occasional boarding or just day school available. For day pupils, it allows parents a great amount of flexibility and gives pupils an opportunity to take part in school life around the clock, when they want it.
• Our fees include all school uniforms, books and equipment and we also offer a wide range of Scholarships and Bursaries.
