The Schools of King Edward VI in Birmingham
Birmingham, UK
The mission of the King Edward VI Foundation (the “Foundation”) is to make Birmingham the best place to be educated in the UK. A progressive, influential educational charity, King Edward VI Foundation’s reputation is underpinned by a long and distinguished history. King Edward’s School was established in 1552 by King Edward VI, part of the early growth of secular education in England. In the late 19th century, our five grammar schools and King Edward VI High School for Girls were an early step in extending secondary education for girls and boys.
The 21st century has brought the formation of the King Edward VI Academy Trust, a means of expanding from our original five grammar schools to a current family of eleven academies and two independent schools. Six of the academies are selective; five are comprehensive, some serving Birmingham’s most deprived communities. To serve the city’s children, we recognise that we need to provide a diverse range of schools: independent as well as Academies, selective and also comprehensive. And we believe that those schools need to be accessible to all, regardless of ethnic, religious and social background.
The further development of digital practices and use of technology is integral to the above, and the purpose of this role is to nurture and support this development via the organisation’s Single Central Enterprise Platform (SCEP), among other priorities.
