We are delighted that you have taken an interest in a career at the King Edward VI Foundation and our Academy Trust. Our ambition is to make Birmingham the best place in the United Kingdom in which to be educated. It is a bold mission, but we view it as inspirational – inspiring our determination to enable our city’s young people to harness and maximise their potential, wherever they live, irrespective of their circumstances and whatever their aptitudes: academic, occupational, sporting or cultural.

We believe that schools are far stronger when they work together, sharing their expertise and their resources for a common purpose.
