School Structure
Unlike state secondary schools and in common with many independent schools, King Edward's does not use modern year group names habitually, e.g. Year 11, Year 12, etc.
The table below attempts to clarify the names of forms used for the different years:
| Name of Form | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Shells | 7 | |
| Removes (Rems) | 8 | |
| Upper Middles (UMs) | 9 | |
| Fourths (IVs) | 10 | |
| Fifths (Vths) | 11 | |
| Divisions (Divs) | 12 | |
| Sixths (VIs) | 13 |
