The Telegraph has published further coverage of its Best Value Awards for independent schools.
KEHS had already been named the UK’s overall Gold winner for 2026 – taking the national title for the second consecutive year. Its position as the Best Value Girls’ School and Best Value School in the West Midlands has now been confirmed.
Chief Master & Principal Mrs Kirsty von MalaisĂ© said: “To be named the best value independent school in the country for the second year running is a source of great pride, reflecting the steps we have taken to remain accessible to bright girls from across Birmingham and the wider West Midlands.
“We know that many of our families make significant sacrifices to send their daughters to KEHS because they believe it is the right school for them and that they will thrive here. Families choose us not just because of our exceptional exam results, but because of how those results are achieved: through a blend of academic excellence, outstanding co-curricular opportunities and exceptional pastoral care. KEHS is a community in which girls can truly belong.”
The Telegraph bases its ranking system on the level of fees, academic results and facilities linked to the co-curriculum.
