|Principal=}}King Edward VII Science and Sport College (formerly "King Edward VII Community College", and earlier "King Edward VII Grammar School") is a mixed upper school and sixth form located in Coalville in the English county of Leicestershire.[1]

History

Grammar school

The school was known as King Edward VII Grammar School. On 5 May 1968, a recording of Songs of Praise at the school was broadcast.[2] The school choir was featured on 29 September 1968 on In Every Corner Sing on BBC Radio 4[3] and also on the Home Service on Children's Hour[4] on 16 July 1950.

Comprehensive

The school is named after King Edward VII. In 2008 the school gained specialist status as Sports College and a Science College. Previously a community school administered by Leicestershire County Council, King Edward VII Science and Sport College converted to academy status in October 2012. However the school continues to coordinate with Leicestershire County Council for admissions.[5]

King Edward VII Science and Sport College offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils,[6] while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A Levels and further BTECs.[7]
