Building confidence and character beyond the classroom, at King Edward’s the Duke of Edinburgh is more than just an outdoor expedition, it is a transformative experience that fosters independence, teamwork, and resilience in our pupils. For our 3rd Form, the qualifying expedition is a much-anticipated milestone in their co-curricular journey.

This year, teams were guided and encouraged by Upper Sixth student Oliver, a natural leader and former Head Boy, whose experience and enthusiasm brought both confidence and motivation to the groups. Supported by Mr Emsley and dedicated staff, the pupils tackled their challenge with determination, developing skills that will serve them far beyond the school gates.

We welcomed back alumni from across the decades – including a special 50-year reunion lunch and the Class of 1993 reunion – alongside Proms, Picnic & Pimm’s on the Head’s Lawn. From Edward the Steam Engine and fascinating exhibitions to the Battle of the Bands, the day was filled with energy, connection and school spirit. 💙 #KESW #FoundersDay #OldWits
