9/9/2015 Pupils go batty for EddieAt the end of the Summer Term, the school briefly added a new member to its roll.
Students on their way to school discovered an injured bat and decided to bring it into school for help. Lauren Rutter and Leah Ward, both now in Year 10, took the bat to the Science Department who took care of it and nicknamed him “Eddie”. Eddie is now at a bat sanctuary where he is being cared for. Mr Christey, Headteacher, praised the girls’ act of kindness, saying “Lauren and Leah did their bit for the local environment by rescuing the bat and did the right thing bringing it into school for safety. I commend their efforts and act of kindness for nature and they are an excellent representation of the kind, caring and responsible students we have at King Edward’s.” 28/1/2015 School collecting Active Kids vouchersKing Edward VI High School will be collecting the Sainsbury's Active Kids vouchers again this year.

15/10/2014 School launches Poppy Appeal 2014King Edward VI High School has launched its Poppy Appeal in support of the work of the Royal British Legion.
As Remembrance Day approaches students and staff have been buying poppies to remember all those men and women who gave up their lives in the service of their country. The money raised will go towards the work of the Royal British Legion who work tirelessly to support the Armed Forces, past and present. Students in Year 9 began selling poppies around school this week and will continue through to November. The students are currently studying World War One in their History lessons and will go on to study World War Two after Christmas. Stories of the heroism of soldiers on the front line have inspired students to sell poppies and raise as much money as they can for a good cause; giving up their free time at breaktime and lunch to achieve their goal. Lead Teacher in History, Mr Lomas, reserved special thanks for three students in particular; Ellie Monckton, Jacob Flood and Cole Smith for their efforts in giving up so much time to sell poppies. The History Department will be hosting their annual Remembrance Service at King Edward's in November alongside the Old Edwardians' Association to commemorate the sacrifice made by former students of the school. Leader of History, Miss Tickell, and the Sixth Form will lead the service and bring students, past and present, together in an act of remembrance. Headteacher, Mr Christey, said "The school is proud of its long history and of its many former students and teachers who gave their lives in conflict, for our freedom. We look forward to welcoming the Old Edwardians to the school in November for our act of remembrance." He added, "I am very proud of all the efforts that Year 9 have gone to help raise money for good causes at this time of remembrance and reflection." The names of the soldiers who lost their lives in conflict are displayed in the School Hall and will be read out at the service. Look out for the special remembrance article in the November issue of The Edwardian. Two students from King Edward VI High School have been awarded with an award after taking part in an international competition.
Eleanor Mills 9LAJ and Georgia Brown 11DLT have both received a Bronze Award after submitting entries to this year's Commonwealth Essay Competition. The students submitted their choice of poems in February for a chance to take part in the Commonwealth Day Observance in March in the presence of Her Majesty The Queen. The best entries were selected by a panel of teachers at King Edward's to represent the school at the service in London. All entries were submitted to the Commonwealth Essay Competition, but it is Eleanor and Georgia's which were selected for a Bronze Award in their respective categories. Eleanor won her award in the Junior category for her poem "United We Stand" about a race. Georgia took Bronze in the Senior category for her essay entitled "How can sport build peace in troubled communities?". Organiser and Lead Teacher in Humanities, Mr Lomas, said "Eleanor and Georgia's awards are well-deserved. They were both excellent pieces of writing and testament to their talent and skill. Well done!" Headteacher, Mr Christey, added "Eleanor and Georgia are a credit to their school and we are all very proud of their incredible achievements. Very few people in the United Kingdom have received this award, making this an even more prestigious honour. You should be very proud of your hard work and efforts". Both students have been given their certificates with copies to be displayed in school. |
