King Edward's School (KES) is an independent day school for boys
in Edgbaston, an area of Birmingham, England. Founded by King
Edward VI in 1552, it is part of the Foundation of the Schools
of King Edward VI in Birmingham, and is widely regarded as one
of the most academically successful schools in the country,
according to various league tables. It was ranked 7th for
A-Level results and 20th for GCSE results, out of all schools in
England in 2004. It is a boys' school, although it shares the
site, and is twinned, with King Edward VI High School for Girls
(KEHS), also one of the most academically successful schools in
the UK. Whilst the two schools are run completely separately,
dramatic arts, societies, music and other events are often
shared. The Foundation
