OUR HERITAGE
from Create a legacy
by OAKSLytham
Our history spans 300 years across the three heritage schools: Arnold School, King Edward VII School and Queen Mary School. During the period 1999 to 2004, King Edward and Queen Mark schools merged to form KEQMS. AKS Lytham was subsequently formed following the merger with Arnold School.
For generations, our heritage schools have provided opportunities which change the trajectory of young people’s lives – this ethos remains central to AKS Lytham today.
The reason behind establishing the Foundation has been through the long-held belief that in an ideal world, the opportunities that an AKS Lytham education offers, would be available to any bright young person, regardless of their family’s circumstances.
This is reflected in the vision of the Foundation which is to create a legacy enabling young people to change their world through AKS Lytham.
Unlike many schools who benefit from an endowment, we are building an entirely new fund to achieve this vision and so in setting out our vision we are inviting friends, parents, grandparents and alumni to join together to ensure that AKS Lytham fulfils its higher moral purpose to society and those who will follow.
an enduring ethos
