Currently the school has around 1150 pupils in attendance amongst the lower school (years 7-11) and over 100 staff, some of whom are former pupils. The school is unique amongst the King Edward VI Foundation, in that it is the only one of the schools to be fully co-educational. The school scored "outstanding" in every category with Ofsted report in November 2005. The school is Voluntary Aided. Parents are asked to make a 'voluntary contribution' each year of around £30 per pupil to 'The School Club'. This money is used solely to provide extras and benefits for all school pupils throughout the year. The school uses some unusual terminology which usually matches that used in the other foundation schools. One such example is the naming of Site Managers or caretakers as "Porters" and homework as "private study", though not all teachers use these terms. The school is very over-subscribed, the ninth in the country according to The Times, with 10.6 pupils competing for 1 place.
