Values and Vision

Admission to King Edward VI Camp Hill School is highly competitive, with students being required to obtain a high score in a standardized entrance examination for entrance to Year 7, with sixth form entrance being allowed on the basis of strong GCSE results in appropriate subjects. The curriculum at King Edward VI is more traditional than the standard national curriculum, with a strong focus of core subjects and stringent internal examinations taking place regularly. The school supplements this with a wide range of extra-curricular activities, such as competitive sporting events and field trips.
