Happy Easter from the Headteacher

It is that time of the year again where the exam season looms and our students and staff take time for a well-earned rest whilst also preparing for the exams which follow. As you will see from our website there are a number of revision sessions taking place over the Easter break and I would urge all Year 11s, 12s, and 13s to attend as many as possible to support them with their revision and exam preparation.
Having held honours assemblies all week it has been encouraging to see so many students with high progress points earned through event logs, house points, merits and excellent effort in class, and beyond; and all of these should be congratulated for the hard work and effort they put in to their education.
It has been a successful term at King Edward's and we have seen yet another fantastic Business Enterprise Challenge. Well done again to the winning group, we shall watch your progress with enthusiasm. The term has seen our Year 8s success with the Maths Masterclasses, two of our students taking part in the WW1 Battlefields Tour, Ruby Murphy recognised for her role in a local theatre production, Beth Jones coming top in a regional gymnastics competition, 8RKK's successful bake sales to raise money for charity, Readathon and World Book Day organised by Miss Lambe, our rugby, football, basketball, indoor athletics and gymnastics teams proving successful, Year 10s running their own Valentine's messaging business in school and our KS4 and KS5 attending a youth debate with local politicians, Mrs Gibbs and the sports leaders leading some successful sporting events for our primary schools and much more.
A big thank you and well done to all students and staff for their hard work and effort this term. I wish you all an enjoyable and rewarding break and look forward to seeing you after Easter.

Mr J Christey
