The Grammar School of King Edward VI at Stratford-upon-Avon can
trace its origins to May 1295, when in the Register of Deacons of the
Diocese of Worcester there is the record of the ordination of Richard as
rector scholarum. William Shakespeare attended this school, leading to
the school describing itself as "Shakespeare's School“
King Edward VI School (K.E.S.) is recognised as one of the finest
grammar schools in the country today. It has a long and
distinguished history, a reputation for high academic standards,
and an outstanding extracurricular programme.
K.E.S. is a forward-looking school which cherishes its traditions.
Traditional subjects like Latin, languages and the arts are taught
alongside the latest developments in science, computing and technology.
Lessons still take place in the Guildhall, more than 400 years after
William Shakespeare studied there. As you would expect at
Shakespeare's School, drama is so good that it receives international
acclaim.
The Trustees of K.E.S. have led the project to restore Shakespeare's
Schoolroom & Guildhall and open it to the public. This has ensured that
the Guildhall's rich history will be shared with local people, as well as with
national and international visitors. It has also ensured that the Guildhall
will continue to be used for teaching, just as it has been for more than
450 years.
