It was one of many grammar schools founded by King Edward VI, and its origin resulted from a royal warrant[?] dated March 24, 1551[1] (http://www.kegswebsite.org.uk/index.php?cat_num=4&subcat_num=1&id_num=0). The school was moved to its present site in Broomfield Road in 1892[2] (http://www.kegswebsite.org.uk/index.php?cat_num=4&subcat_num=1&id_num=0).
Anthony Tuckwell[?], headmaster of KEGS from 1984 to 1999, is the author of a history of the school, entitled, 'That honourable and gentlemanlike House', a history of King Edward VI Grammar School, Chelmsford, 1551-2001.
As of 2003, the present headmaster is Dr. Michael Walker[?], who succeeded Mr. Tuckwell in 1999, having taught history at the school since 1989.
