⭐️ “There are NO LIMITS”⭐️

“I wanted to say thank you for the opportunity for our children to explore the world of work. There are so many roles that didn’t exist when a good number of parents left school. It makes it hard for us to help guide. Meanwhile, traditional jobs are still invaluable but not always considered.

My daughter is a police cadet and from the experience is now determined to go to university to study Criminology, with the ambition of joining the force.

Her ballet shoes sit alongside her police boots, reminding us that there are no limits”. 

Kind words from a parent to our Careers and Higher Education team following our recent careers networking event. We endeavour to support pupils to make fully informed decisions as they prepare to fly.

We were delighted to welcome children from local primary school, St Mary`s Chiddingfold last week. Under the careful guidance of our brilliant Design Technology teachers and supported by our outstanding 3rd Form pupils, they took part in a challenging bridge building workshop and all built their own truss bridge.

We are proud to welcome a number of local primary schools to join us in a broad variety of co-curricular activities and events throughout our academic year; a chance for pupils to try something new and an important opportunity for King Edward`s pupils to share our fantastic Design Technology facilities and support younger children in their endeavours.
