King Edward VI College is a highly recognised selective sixth form college, located in Stourbridge, England, in the West Midlands area. It is situated in the centre of Stourbridge, to the north of the town centre, on the side of the ring road (A491). AS- and A-level examinations are for pupils generally aged 16–18. Pupils are accepted only on the condition of achieving A-C grades on average at GCSE level.〔(), BBC league tables 2010.〕 The original school was founded on 21 May 1430 and was known as the Chantry School of Holy Trinity. The charter for the grammar school was granted on 17 June 1552 by King Edward VI. It became a sixth form college in September 1976 due to the introduction of comprehensive education in the Dudley borough, which Stourbridge had been incorporated into 2 years earlier and most of the rest of the borough had followed suit with a year earlier.〔()〕 In 2008, the college was listed as 'outstanding' following an inspection by Ofsted.〔(), The college's 2008 Ofsted report.〕 Pupils are generally from within the West Midlands, coming from as far afield as Birmingham, Wolverhampton and Worcester. Background education of most pupils is usually from state secondary schools, though there are several private institutions in the area. For example, some pupils come from Elmfield Rudolf Steiner School, which does not have a sixth form. As such, some pupils attend the college between the ages of 17 and 19, instead of the usual 16 and 18. The college's motto is the same motto as that of the Order of the Garter. Translated from Old French it means "Shame be to him who thinks evil of it". ==Campus== The college buildings are all on one site, on Lower High Street in Stourbridge. The campus is bound by the Ring Road, Coventry Street, adjacent shops on Lower High Street and the street itself, and a new housing development. All lessons take place on college grounds. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「King Edward VI College, Stourbridge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
