A record number of boys will be sitting the entrance exam to King Edward's School this Saturday. 820 boys from over 300 junior schools will attend in the hope of gaining one of the 125 places on offer. This represents a 17% increase on 2013, the previous record, and 37% increase on 2012.

The King Edward's School Birmingham Trust recently received its 1,000th donor, who coincidentally donated £1,000. Read more about our 1,000th donor and the difference that all of our donors have made.

The school will be holding an exhibition to commemorate the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War. We are appealing for memorabilia of Old Edwardians who were involved and would love to hear from you if you are able to help. Read more about the exhibition, memorabilia already donated, and how to contribute.
