King Edward VI Foundation

It is my privilege to be the Chief Executive Officer of this historic, charitable organisation which has been supporting excellence in education for Birmingham since 1552. Our Foundation of schools is a rare combination of independent schools and academies, both selective and comprehensive, which have come together over the centuries since the establishment of King Edward’s School in the 16^th century. Our schools are diverse in nature, but we have a common purpose and an absolute commitment to working together to achieve the best for the children and young people of this city. Indeed, it is this diversity that is our greatest strength, as we learn from the excellence that exists in every one of our schools.

Alternatively, you might be looking to work with us, in which case our range of vacancies is listed here. Whether you are a teacher, a teaching assistant, a finance professional, someone who enjoys working in catering, a cleaner or someone who would like to take care of our extensive grounds and
sports facilities, there are frequently opportunities for everyone.

In addition to celebrating our past, we must also be fit for a modern world, where equality, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of our ethos. Our schools have worked for Birmingham since 1552 and, to take the motto of the city, we intend to continue to “move forward” and be at the heart of its educational life in the future.
