King Edward VI High School is an 11 - 18 comprehensive school of about 1100 pupils on role of whom 150 are in the Sixth Form.

Carol Ann Duffy, poet.
James Sutton (born James Cook, 31 January 1983) - an English television actor, best known for playing the parts of John Paul McQueen in the British Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks and Ryan Lamb in the ITV soap Emmerdale.
King Edward VI High School was formed by the amalgamation of King Edward VI Boys’ Grammar School and Stafford Girls’ High School in 1977, to create a comprehensive school. At the time, the Girls’ High School was extensively enlarged to accommodate the full range of students. The historic Grammar School buildings on Newport Road were handed over to Chetwynd middle school. The selection standards for admission were then abolished. The closure of the grammar school was opposed locally, and an independent Stafford Grammar School was founded in 1983 by parents as a continuation of the Grammar school.
