King Edward VI School
June Bulletin 28th June, 2012
T
he major news that we announced just before half term was the acquisition of Stroud Preparatory School which will now be known as Stroud – the King Edward VI Preparatory School.
CHANGES TO PE & GAMES KIT From September 2012, boys will use navy shorts and girls will use navy skorts for PE. White shorts/skorts will no longer be required.
The intention is to combine the best features of King Edward’s and Stroud by sharing, where appropriate and feasible, the facilities, staff and resources to give each pupil the best education we can from the early years until university entry, while preserving the particular identities of the two schools so that each retains its distinctive character and style.
It is recommended that boys have two pairs of navy shorts due to the muddy nature of rugby.
