King Edward VI School
May Bulletin 22 May 2015
A
s I write, the weather remains changeable and our summer sports teams have had to dodge more than their fair share of wind and showers. AS level and GCSE Examinations are, however, in full swing and students are busy with revision; poor weather has some compensations with little temptation to bask in the sunshine!
Annual Athletics Sports Day 2015 Friday 26 June 1.00pm until 4.45pm on the School field Parents and friends are warmly invited to attend and we would be delighted to see you.
We are delighted to have seen the completion of the new hospitality facilities at Wellington. This completes a major refurbishment of the site and provides for a significant increase in space for parents and pupils, particularly in the period of high demand during the Autumn Term.
The structure of the day will be slightly different this year as there will be no heats or finals held before the event. All events will take place during the afternoon, except Javelin which will need to be held in advance due to health and safety.
The principal focus of the School in June will be on internal examinations and there is very useful guidance for students on our website to help them make the best use of their time. Please remind your sons and daughters that normal School regulations apply, particularly those relating to summer uniform which is introduced for the whole School after half term.
Refreshments for parents will be served in the Dining Hall between 2.30pm and 4.00pm All students are required on site until 4.45pm. If a pupil must leave before this time then agreement must be sought from their Head of Year in advance and the pupil will require a letter from home, also signed by their Head of Year
There is much to look forward to thereafter with the Arts Festival, Sports Day, Endeavour and the Swimming Gala all subject, as ever, to the vagaries of the English summer weather. AJ Thould Head SCHOOL LUNCH REMINDER
