The main programming language that is taught across the school is Python, although experience in web development can be useful for some of the elements in Year 9 and KS5.

Welcome
King Edward's School was founded in 1552 and takes great pride in its long history as Bath's oldest school.

KES has held a special place in this wonderful city for well over four and a half centuries and is now firmly established as one of the leading schools in the South West of England.

As the city's former grammar school, KES has a very healthy tradition of nurturing academic excellence and ambition, reflected these days in the School's consistently outstanding results.

Our pupils are bright, inquisitive, and aspirational, but they also have their feet firmly on the ground and understand that individual excellence shines most brightly in the service of the collective team effort.

"KES remains at the top of the academic pops in Bath and beyond." _The Good Schools Guide 2021_

The ethos of the School is one that encourages all pupils to play as hard as they work and to make the most of all the wonderful opportunities here, both in and out of the classroom, that enable them to grow and thrive within a supportive and caring framework.

We set the bar high, but we also give our pupils all the tools that they need to reach those ambitious standards.

We aim to foster talent in all its forms and to open doors to enquiry and discovery.

Independent-mindedness and creative spirit are strong suits, but so too is the sense of community that seeks to respect and value all its members.

"KES turns out young people who are not merely hard-working and well-educated, but compassionate and thoughtful to book." _The Good Schools Guide 2021_

As a family of three schools, the Pre-Prep, Junior and Senior sections of King Edward's offer an inspiring and supportive environment for children age 3 to 18.

Some join us just for the sixth form, many stay for their entire school career.

All pupils are encouraged to be the best they can be and all are nurtured along the pathway to leading happy, fulfilled and successful lives at school and beyond.
