King Edward VI School
End of Term Bulletin 10 July, 2015
O
ver the past fortnight we have had a huge array of activities including an excellent Arts Festival which included an innovative Art Exhibition using the Big Top, a host of university open day visits, work experience placements, Duke of Edinburgh expeditions and preparation for the Fourth Year students as they consider their Sixth Form options. Sports Day and the Swimming Gala both proved to be very competitive occasions and, as ever, the Allen Grant Inter-House competition has been fiercely contested! A wide range of visits and events organised for Endeavour occupied the penultimate week with much of this recorded in more detail in the latest issue of Konnections. Many parents also enjoyed the splendid biennial ball organised by the tireless KES PTA. Over the summer many students will be involved in activities abroad and in the UK including the Summer Camp in Swanage, the Geogedacht team in South Africa, an expedition to the Himalayas, a Rugby and Hockey tour of South Africa and the watersports holiday in France, as well as further Duke of Edinburgh expeditions. Our thanks go to all of the staff involved in those trips – they will be giving up a lot of their holiday to make them work so smoothly. We thank Mrs Thomas, Deputy Head (Pastoral), Mr Kay, Miss Stenning, Mrs Coker, Mr Reece and Dr Berryman for all they have done for the School and wish them well in their new roles or retirement. The names of the staff replacing them may be found on page two of this publication. I wish you all a good break over the summer.
