WELCOME TO OUR SPEECH DAY

It has been a truly remarkable year for King’s High and the country as a whole.

Although the global pandemic has disrupted our society in ways that we could never have imagined, we can all take enormous pride in the spirit and strength of the King’s High community. The whole community has come together to support one another and it has been so inspiring to witness the resilience and courage of our students.

I hope that you will enjoy our Speech Day, which is always an important moment to reflect on the year and to celebrate the superb achievements and successes of our students.

I am delighted to welcome our distinguished guest, Professor Christine Ennew OBE, Provost of Warwick University. Professor Ennew OBE has enjoyed an illustrious career in academia and is an inspirational figure for girls and women throughout our society.

Alongside the study of A Levels and EPQ, the King’s High Baccalaureate is a bespoke new qualification that prepares girls for university and their careers beyond.

We are delighted that the following girls are to receive this prestigious award: Blue Level 2 Baccalaureate was awarded last summer to: Edith Alun-Jones Emily Button Isabelle Hirst Jessica Johnson Daisy McDarmaid Isha Sandhu Eleanor Vickers Emily Williams Emily Wilson Lucy Hodgson Fiona Boyle Ella Kimpton Alexandra Leeming Alexandra Williams Rebecca Martin Saskia Morel Aliza Chaudry Imogen DeArmitt Amelia Fenwick Grace Harvey Olivia Rochford Madelaine Jelley Madeleine Bromwich Lara Whitmore Jade Level 3 Baccalaureate: Grace Hollis Abigail Hunt Elukchiha Vivekananthan Annabel Husband Rachael Horne Jemima Solt Laura Bawden

IVY HOUSE AWARD The Ivy House Award develops leadership and life skills, giving our students the knowledge, skills and confidence, they need to step up and take ownership of their future.

It is a two part programme: The Award first supports students in discovering their unique character, who they are, what they want and how they can play to their strengths and then the second part focusses on developing a core set of skills critical to success.

Self-Leadership and the Leadership of others is core to the whole award and through self-reflection and conscious adjustments it is hoped it will help them be the most extraordinary version of themselves.

Students completed a 20-week course, undertaking tasks and filling out their journal. They also delivered a presentation to the group on a passion or subject of their choice and finally they taught an element of the course to younger students.
