Easter Bulletin
T
29 March, 2018 he second half of term has concluded with an outstanding sell-out Senior Concert and our Thanksgiving Services held at both KES and St Nicolas’s Church. We have also had a very good term on the sports field as the snow has given way to the first hints of spring sunshine.
It has been a busy half of term with a combination of a variety of school trips and activities, the visit from students from Charlotte Country Day School in North Carolina, trips abroad for our students including historians in Poland, linguists and artists in Salamanca and Milan, scientists at Space Camp in Belgium, various charity events and the KES PTA Quiz. There are some rather exhausted students (and staff!) in need of a break but School activity continues over the holiday. During the Easter break our students are involved in visits to Andalucia, Vienna, Montpellier, Mutterstadt, Menorca, the annual ski trip to France and, with perhaps a little less glamour, the New Forest and Dartmoor to begin the Duke of Edinburgh expedition season. I wish you a good break over Easter and hope to see a number of you at various events in the summer including the Science Festival and Sports Day in June with, we all hope, some sunshine!
