Earlier this month, the Elizabeth House girls ordered 100 Christmas shoeboxes and distributed them around the other Houses for pupils and staff to fill with toys and gifts for children in need around the world. Once filled, the boxes had to be labelled with the relevant age range and gender and a 5 donation left inside each box to pay for the delivery.

We were excited and honoured to welcome Darcy Bourne, Great Britain Hockey player, to King Edward's yesterday. Darcy talked succinctly about her sporting journey and career highlighting how it has intertwined with her passion for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion both in and out of her sporting life.

We would like to thank Mrs Fitch, Head of Girls Games and Head of Hockey, for organising such an inspirational event.#diversityandinclusion#independentschools#blacklivesmatter... See MoreSee Less
