Welcome
King Edward’s is an exciting place to be. Our school heritage goes back to 1551 and beyond and throughout that time the school has survived by listening, learning, changing and adapting. The challenges of today makes these principles all the more important to ensure that every voice in our community is valued.​King Edward’s may have been around longer than many schools but our focus is always on the future, whether that is on developing our site and our buildings or leading the way in eLearning and Webinars. We are committed to retaining the important aspects of our heritage, and aspects of the traditional grammar school ethos whilst embracing the changes of the modern world.

Our Vision statement
​
KEVIGS aims to provide an education that is academically ambitious which supports the holistic development of all our students who will become resilient learners that contribute positively to society.
​
Students who join us in Year 7 pass the 11+ and are normally performing at the highest levels in their primary school. There is no such thing as a typical grammar school student at King Edward’s and we thrive on the social diversity that our broad catchment area provides: children join us from North East Lincolnshire; Market Rasen; Louth and its villages, and also from as far afield as Mablethorpe and Horncastle.
​
Curriculum Intent
​
Here at KEVIGS we offer a broad, knowledge rich and ambitious curriculum to challenge our very able students. The design of our curriculum ensures that all students:
-
Develop excellent disciplinary knowledge, understanding and skills.
-
Make excellent progress.
-
Develop cultural capital and wider life skills that fully prepare them for their next phases of education and life beyond school.
-
Are inspired to be effective life-long learners.
​
Alongside our academic curriculum we prioritise the holistic development of our students through our Personal Development curriculum and extra-curricular opportunities. Our students are provided with the opportunity to discover and pursue their own interests, whilst developing empathy, respect for others and resilience. We focus on ensuring our students grow as well rounded and responsible citizens who fulfil their potential and contribute positively to society.
