Description

King Henry VIII School is a coeducational independent school located in Coventry, England, comprising a senior school (ages 11–18) and associated preparatory school (ages 3–11). The senior school has approximately 800 pupils (120 in each of years 7–11 and 100 in each year of the Sixth Form). The current fees stand at £9,816 per year, though bursaries and scholarships (ranging from 10% to 90%) are available. Due to its convenient location close to Coventry’s railway station, the school accommodates pupils from around the West Midlands area, including towns in 30 miles distance, such as Northampton.The school is situated on an 11acre urban site within a walking distance of the railway station, allowing pupils to travel from the surrounding towns of Warwick, Balsall Common, Leamington Spa, Kenilworth and Nuneaton. The buildings are an imposing example of Victorian collegiate Tudor, nevertheless, numerous modern facilities diversify the architecture of the school’s campus, including a new art complex, drama studio, sports hall, library and most recently a swimming pool and fitness suite. The prep school has its own building on the same site.Although the school is Christian, cultural and religious diversity are strongly embraced and welcomed. Pupils are also encouraged to take part in extra-curricular activities including a variety of sports played at county, regional and national levels, music, drama, Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme, public speaking, chess and debating. The school is run by the Coventry School Foundation, a registered charity, and jointly administered with Bablake School under a common Board of Governors. The schools have mutual arrangements such as a common entrance examination, shared astroturf pitches, and similar school uniforms, differing only in the style of tie and the badge on the blazer. The Coventry School Foundation also includes the new Bablake Junior School and King Henry VIII Preparatory School, formed from the merger of Coventry Preparatory School with King Henry VIII Junior School from the beginning of the 2008/9 academic year. The two school sites remain in use by the preparatory school, with the Reception to Y3 classes occupying the old Coventry Preparatory site, which is known as Swallows, in honour of the school's founder. The Y4 to Y6 classes occupy the former King Henry VIII Junior School site, adjacent to the senior school, which is known as Hales in honour of that school's founder. With effect from September 2008, King Henry VIII School began to offer continuity of education from ages 3 to 18.
