Remembrance Day is a significant moment in the life, experiences and history of KES. The Headteacher led a special assembly for KS4 and KS5 students today. Assemblies were held for KS3 students. The Last Post was played and the School fell silent for two minutes at 11am. KES will never forget.

#Inktober at King Edward VII School was a great success!
The students learned a great deal from the daily literacy prompts and practiced drawing skills that made a wonderful board of Art. Here is our Inktober board!
KES students were amazing in the School community earlier this week conducting their annual planting at Crosspool. Members of the public passing by were chatting with them and told them they were doing an amazing job, that they could plant in their garden and that they deserved medals!! 🌼🌸🏆
