King Edward VI School, Stratford-upon-Avon
King Edward VI School (commonly shortened to K.E.S.) is a boys grammar school and academy in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England. However, from September 2013 the school allows up to 25% of the intake for Year 12 to be girls.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-shropshire-23941479 )〕 It is also generally believed that William Shakespeare attended this school, leading to the label of "Shakespeare's School".
==History==
There has been an educational facility at the current site of the school since at least the early thirteenth century. A schoolroom, schoolhouse and payment of £20 per annum for a master was one of the provisions of King Edward VI's charter which established Stratford-upon-Avon as a borough in June, 1553.〔(King Edward VI School website )〕 The school was re-founded as one of King Edward's schools nine days before the young king died of tuberculosis and is believed to be the last of the King Edward VI Schools. A history of the early years of the school has been published by the former chairman of the governors Levi Fox
It is likely that the playwright and poet William Shakespeare attended the school between the ages of seven to fourteen.〔(Stratford-upon-Avon website )〕 His father, John Shakespeare, a glover and wool dealer in the town, held the office of bailiff of the borough in 1568. As a child, William would have been entitled to a free place at the school,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.william-shakespeare.info/william-shakespeare-biography-childhood-and-education.htm )〕 and it was the only school for miles around, however there is no conclusive evidence that he was schooled there. Classmates may have included William Smith, Richard Field, John Sadler, Arthur Cawdrey, John Lane,〔Eccles, Mark (1961). ''Shakespeare in Warwickshire'', Madison: University of Wisconsin Press, pp.58-62〕 Robert Dibdale〔Ackroyd, Peter (2005). ''Shakespeare: The Biography'', London: Chatto & Windus, p. 64〕 and Thomas Green.
Following a tradition established in 1893, each year pupils and masters lead a procession through the town from the school in Church Street to Holy Trinity Church, where they lay flowers at Shakespeare's grave. In 1982 the five-hundredth anniversary of the endowment of the school by the priest Thomas Jolyffe was celebrated and in 2003 celebrations were held for the 450th anniversary of the school's re-foundation.
