King Edward VI School - History And Alumni
A full and detailed History of King Edward VI School from 1295 to the present was published on Shakespeare's birthday, April 23 2008.
It tells of the development of King Edward VI Grammar School through the centuries - the buildings, the masters and the boys. The story of K.E.S reflects the turbulent history of England through 800 years of political, religious, educational, social and economic development, and is told through the use of extensive sources and the contributions of over seventy Old Boys and Masters.
There are 150 photographs plus 16 pages of colour, and amongst the 17 appendices is a list of all the staff since 1870, details of the rugby and cricket teams and rowing crews, the Roll of honour of both World Wars, and Captains of the School. A special appendix is the complete Alumni Roll since 1800.
Bound in royal blue and bearing the old royal school crest embossed in gold on the cover, the price of the History will be £25.
The History was launched by the historian MICHAEL WOOD and a DVD of the event is available from the Archive.
Available from Waterstone's, the book may also be ordered from School, please add £5 for posting and packing.
