King Edward's School, Birmingham

King Edward's School (KES) is an independent secondary school in Birmingham, England, founded by King Edward VI in 1552. It is part of the Foundation of the Schools of King Edward VI in Birmingham and one of the most academically successful schools in the country. It was ranked 10th for A-Level results http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/4170185.stm and 40th for GCSE results http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/4170183.stm out of all schools in England in 2004. The school has been located in Edgbaston since 1940, but this was not the original site; King Edward's used to be situated on New Street in Birmingham city centre.

Drama

King Edward's Drama Department continues to receive enormous support from pupils. The undoubted highlight is the annual senior production, which combines the prolific acting talents of some of the older boys (and girls of KEHS) with the aforementioned Music Department's finest performers, to put on a spectacular show. As well as the senior production, the Drama Department puts on another play for the junior years of KES and KEHS, as well as numerous other events, including the departing Sixth Formers' "Syndicate Play".
