Hockey is played in all year groups at King Edward's and it is developing in its scope and achievement. At Under 12 level, Hockey is offered as a club in the evenings with matches operating throughout the two winter terms. At U13 level, hockey becomes a games option and this continues throughout the school. Boys who wish to play both hockey and rugby up to senior level are catered for by a priority system, whereby they will play rugby from September to December and hockey from January to March.

Coaching in the sport is at the highest level. The Director of Hockey is Michael Johnson who competed at the Sydney and Athens Olympics, winning 168 international caps. Other international players and coaches are employed throughout the year in order to offer specialised coaching.

The sport is currently thriving at the school with a tour to Gibraltar planned for October 2009 and several pupils representing the county and the region. There are two high-quality hockey-specific astro-turf pitches on the site.
