Holistic Academic Education since 1551

The King Edward VI Education Trust comprises of King Edward VI Grammar School which in turn is underpinned by the school's ancient foundation trust the King Edward VI Louth and Almshouse, School and Educational Charity. 

​

The Charity

​

The Charity's history goes back to the medieval Guilds of Louth when it owned the majority of land in and around Louth. Over the past 800 years the Charity has shed much of that land and property but today still retains a wide property portfolio including the ancient Almshouses located on School House Lane and located next to the site of the school's original buildings. The Charity today exists to use its historic endowment to support pupils in the local rural community, assist those in need through their Almshouse provision, and provides bursaries and awards for local students to support their education. 

​

In addition to their own property portfolio, the Charity is also the owner of all of the school's land and ancient buildings and supports the work of the CEO and Headmaster to care for these ancient properties and invest in their upkeep and future development for the benefit of the students of Louth.
