Impact Statement

The King Edwards Partnerships programme has continued to evolve and adapt to support the increasing challenges faced by local primary and secondary schools. During the 2023/24 academic year, our collaborations have placed a special emphasis on STEM, the arts, music, and languages. King Edwards pupils have taken the lead in these sessions, honing their communication, mentoring, and organisational skills. 

Visiting partnership pupils have greatly benefited from the state-of-the-art facilities and equipment available at King Edwards, including the Dobson Theatre and Wellington Sports Ground. More importantly, the programme has fostered a collaborative and mutually beneficial learning experiences. 

We are proud to have become a School Partnerships Alliance Member, joining the School Partnerships Alliance community in 2023. In 2024, King Edward VI School launched its inaugural Partnerships Day. This event celebrated the best of partnership cooperation, with KES pupils from an entire year group engaging in mentoring, leadership, support, and teaching activities alongside our primary pupil partners. Partnerships events such as workshops, staff INSET training, drama performances, competitions, lectures and debates have been a feature of the growing programme. We now work with 15 schools in a variety of projects. As a Beacon School for Gender Action we have also introduced partnerships that promote gender equity and encourage girls in STEM.
