Edbaston Schools Success - New Standards set for 11+ Results



Youngsters at The Blue Coat School, Edgbaston made a 15% increase on last year’s haul in some of the region’s most competitive examinations. Elsewhere, the school exceeded its previous year’s success at King Edward’s School and King Edward VI High School for Girls, bagging 38 places and scholarships at two of the country’s leading independent schools. Of those who had also gained a grammar school place, 5 children were awarded a scholarship by King Edward’s School. Despite its success in the classroom, the school is quick to point to the broad and balanced curriculum it offers. A record 12 places have been gained in the National Children’s Orchestra over the past four years, and several children have won county honours in their sports.
