Headteacher

The Free Grammar School of King Edward VI was first established in Stafford in 1550 to provide free education to young boys. In 1862 a new building was erected for the school on Newport Road and would serve as the home of the boys' grammar school for well over 100 years. Stafford Girls' High School was established in 1907 as a grammar school for girls and was based at The Oval, just off the Lichfield Road, with some accommodation for students at The Hough Cottage (now an Italian restaurant). The school later moved to a new site off West Way, close to Stafford Castle; the modern home of King Edward VI High School. In 1977 King Edward VI Grammar School and Stafford Girls' High School were amalgamated to create a comprehensive off West Way. The old King Edward VI building on Newport Road remained in education hands and was turned over to Chetwynd Middle School before later becoming what is now known as the Chetwynd Centre, home of the Stafford Collegiate, where many Post-16 subjects are taught as part of an agreement between the Stafford secondary schools and Stafford College of Further Education. The old girls' school buildings on The Oval also remained in education hands, later becoming an art college before being converted into residential apartments

Sadly, a teenage girl has died in a lake not far from our border yesterday evening. Our thoughts are with the girl's family, friends and our emergency service colleagues.

We know the weather is extremely hot and open water is appealing to cool off in, but please be aware of the dangers and ensure your children are too.

We don't want to be reporting a similar tragedy - so our plea to you is to enjoy the sun safely.

Sweating over your revision notes?

If your bedroom currently feels less like a place of study and more like the Sahara Desert, we have the perfect escape. Trade the stifling heat for the refreshing chill of historical knowledge!

Join us tonight for GCSE History Revision on Google Classroom at 6:00pm.

Why should you attend?
* Air-conditioned vibes: It’s entirely virtual, so you can sit directly in front of a fan!
* Cold, hard facts: We will be cooling down with some refreshing exam techniques and ice-cold historical evidence.
* Guaranteed distraction: Spending an hour focusing on the past is a proven scientific method to forget that your room is currently a greenhouse.

(Note: Not actually scientifically proven, but highly likely.)

Put down the ice lollies for an hour, log on at 6pm, and let's get this revision sorted. See you there!

Congratulations to Lily who celebrated earning her Gold Award at Buckingham Palace today, accompanied by proud mother and teacher Mrs Dolloway.
The celebration was made even more special by a brief conversation with HRH The Duke of Edinburgh.
With this year being the 75th Anniversary of the Award, those supporting its delivery were invited, meaning Mr Malone was able to share in Lily’s special day.

Massive congratulations to our incredible Year 11 and Year 13 students for smashing their first full week of exams! 🌟👏

We know how much hard work, late-night revision, and focus has gone into the last few days. Your teachers, parents, and carers could not be prouder of the resilience and determination you’ve shown.

Just one more week to go until a well-deserved half-term break. Keep your focus, take it one day at a time, and look after yourselves. You’ve got this!
