King Edward VI School
June Bulletin
A
28 June, 2016 s I write the School is full of busy activity as we enjoy our Science and Technology Festival. The clouds have given way to sunshine as our students make giant models of the solar system, launch rockets, give presentations on the speed of light, gaze into distant space and dissect the occasional brain.
The pace changes in the final weeks of term with a healthy mix of Sports Day, the Swimming Gala and the Endeavour programme to look forward to with activities across all year groups, ranging from the First Year Camp, the Second Year Normandy trip and a variety of activities for the Third, Fourth and Sixth Form. Leavers’ Day follows shortly with mixed emotions; relief at seeing another generation of KES students emerge from their A level examinations intact and still smiling (for the most part!) and a degree of sadness as we say goodbye to another generation leaving School and preparing for GAP years, work or university. We are also saying farewell to some long serving staff, including Mr Fitzpatrick, Mr Long, Mr Walter and Mr Patten after a collective 142 years of service at KES. We wish them all well as they leave the School. A J Thould Head Swimming Gala This year sees the Lower School Swimming Gala held again at Southampton University Jubilee Pool on 6 July. Please note that spectator space is limited. Full details can be found here. Endeavour takes place on Thursday and Friday of this week (30 June and 1 July).
