One day. So many moments. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️☀️

A final dot of the quill 🪶

Just as our annual Admissions Day Service marks an important milestone at the beginning of every School journey at King Edward’s, so the Gaudy Service marks an important final dot of the quill; a formal celebration of the journeys and achievements of all our departing Upper Sixth pupils.

For some the next chapter begins with university or an exciting apprenticeship, for others vocational training, a gap year or a well informed leap directly into the world of work. Whichever path, all are destined for great things, equipped with strong principles and values which will shape their lives ahead.

Class of 2026, we are incredibly proud of the each and every one of you and look forward to welcoming you back as our newest alumni very soon.

Until then… Fly high.

🏆 Congratulations to EDWARD HOUSE, winners of the Cock House Cup 2026!

Perhaps the most hotly contested competition of the year, this cup represents individual and collective excellence across all areas of School life. House events including Drama, Sport and Music competitions all attract Cock House points, as does going above and beyond through exceptional work, effort and citizenship.

This win marked a hat-trick for Edward House and a brilliant finale to a splendid 10 years as housemaster for Mr Tobias supported, as always, by the wonderful Mrs T.

The House system at KESW promotes a strong sense of belonging for every pupil. As a full, weekly or flexi boarder, or as a day pupil, our supportive houses are at heart of School life, where lifelong friendships are made, opportunities are explored and where every pupil is valued for who they are.

To discover more, head over to our website KESW.org , contact admisisons@kesw.org or call our team on 01428 686735.

🇬🇧🥇WIN for KESW! National Indoor Ski Championships.

On Monday the 29th of July, the KESW Ski Team ventured back to The Snow Centre in Hemel Hempstead for the second time in two weeks. This time for the ESSKIA indoor championships. After a strong second the previous week, the team consisting of Owen and Ethan Chandler, Edward Jacob and Sophia Bulkeley wanted to go one better than the previous Monday and set about trying to win the mixed team event.

Two runs down two different courses meant there was little room for error and after inspecting the two courses carefully they set about the challenge. Everyone held their nerve and delivered clean, fast, and consistent runs to take the win by a considerable margin.

There was also individual success to celebrate:

Ethan Chandler - 2nd in mixed category
Owen Chandler - 3rd in mixed category
Sophia Bulkeley - 4th and 1st female in mixed category
Edward Jacob - 13th in mixed category

A notable mention for Ed, who has shown great improvement over recent races and his hard work and training is showing results on the race course.

This marks the end of the indoor race season and the team take a summer break from Schools racing and return in the Autumn term for the Surrey Schools Championships and the ESSKIA outdoor championships.

The 4 skiers don’t take a break from training, or racing, and are still very active on the National race circuit picking up results and lowering their national seed points. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL ON YOUR DEDICATION & INCREDIBLE SUCCESS 🎉
