We would like to invite those students who have been offered a place at KEFW to attend an Open Morning along with their parents.

Information regarding information collation for new students:
To enable individualised planning for your child’s transition to secondary school, all schools in Birmingham will request the following information from your child’s primary or junior school from April of Year 6:
• Safeguarding file
• SEND information, including plans and adaptations
• Attainment information
• Behaviour and attendance information and support plans
• Medical records, including plans
• Current agencies involved
This enables teachers and practitioners to liaise with you and your child to agree on transition plans.
Should you have any concerns regarding this or do not wish this to happen, please contact Admissions (admissions@fws.kevibham.org) by 21st March 2025. Please note, schools are not required to gain consent to share safeguarding information
Congratulations on obtaining your place at King Edward VI Five Ways School – Do not underestimate what a fantastic achievement that is! There will be lots of things that you need to know, and some things are best learnt when you put on your new uniform and join us properly in September. But in the meantime, this handbook goes some way to prepare you. If you have any questions after reading this then please get in touch.
More information to follow shortly.
