In 1888, KEHS moved to the recently vacated, and almost brand new (1885), Liberal Club in Congreve Street (a site now covered by the lending section of the Birmingham Central Library) under a short lease.

KEHS hosts approximately 560 girls, 80 per year (four forms) with entrance exams taking place in late January.

[2] Each year, forms elect a charity to support and later raise funds through such activities as cake sell hosting, car washing and the like.

In recent years the two schools have cooperated on productions such as West Side Story, Les Misérables and 13 Mathering End.

Towards the end of the year, Upper Sixth-Form attendees from both schools organise and rehearse a Syndicate play, which is usually performed in the last week of term.

The boys' school and KEHS now share the newly finished Performing Arts Centre (PAC), completed in July 2012.

It offers a wide range of facilities, including multiple drama studios and tiered seated hall for assemblies and orchestra performances.
