The challenges of today makes these principles all the more important to ensure that every voice in our community is valued.​King Edward’s may have been around longer than many schools but our focus is always on the future, whether that is on developing our site and our buildings or leading the way in eLearning and Webinars. We are committed to retaining the important aspects of our heritage, and aspects of the traditional grammar school ethos whilst embracing the changes of the modern world.

As part of our duty to safeguard pupils we need to check whether an individual is barred from working with children, or whether they have any convictions that would make them unsuitable to work with children. We will therefore carry out online checks and request a self-declaration to be made prior to attending an interview. Before making an application, please click on the yellow boxes to see details of the checks that we are required to carry out on candidates before they attend an interview.

ECT Experiences
"My ECT experience at King Edward’s has been overwhelmingly positive. The staff within my department, as well as in the wider school have been really supportive and I have gained advice from many different staff. It seems there is a nice blend of experienced staff who can help you out, but also some young staff who have recently had to adapt to the way the school works and what the students are like.
The best aspect of the school for me this year has been the behaviour and attitude of the students. They really are a joy to teach and I have always felt relaxed about trying new T+L strategies. Furthermore, the trip opportunities really are a real perk of the job for me. I appreciate they aren’t for everybody but I have really enjoyed that opportunity." Sam Brennan, History ECT
