Year 8

QMH provides a safe, nurturing environment in which our youngest pupils build their early relationships and orient themselves to the school site. Headed by house parents who, along with a dedicated team of boarding staff, provide exceptional support and care from our very first moment meeting your child, we lay the foundations for kindness, confidence and achievement in school life and beyond. In years 7 and 8 we encourage pupils to embrace a broad range of opportunities both in and out of the classroom, to build confidence in exploring and shaping their personal identity by building self-management skills and taking risks with their learning knowing that that they are in a positive and safe environment. We have found that this provides the best platform for creativity and future growth. Encouraged to work out what make them feel happy and motivated, our pupils develop a strong emotional connection with QMH, its staff and its pupils. They naturally connect with a positive sense of place rooted in kindness where they can flourish academically, socially and emotionally.

Pupils are able to apply to the School directly or via an educational consultancy service. Whilst we would always encourage families to visit King Edward’s to meet us in person to explore and experience everyday school life and opportunity here. We are delighted to offer online information sessions if this is not possible.
