We are delighted to announce that Prince’s Mead will be joining the KES family with a merger of our two brilliant schools, following a period of careful consideration and thorough due diligence. This merger brings together two highly respected schools with a long-standing relationship built on shared values, a commitment to excellence, and providing an outstanding educational experience for pupils.

Both schools remain in a strong and stable financial position, consistently generating a surplus year on year. This proactive partnership aims to build on both schools' strengths, reinforcing financial security and opening new opportunities for pupil progression, with Prince's Mead pupils' benefiting from a KES Head's Recommendation pathway to KES senior school, providing a guaranteed place in Year 7 for pupils who achieve an appropriate academic standard and would thrive in the senior school more widely, without the uncertainty of passing the Entrance Exam.

This is an exciting development for both schools. You can read the full story on our website HERE.
