🎭 Shakespeare and Cake! 🍰
Rehearsals are underway and we are poised to enjoy a fabulous Queen Mary House (Lower School) open air performance celebration of Shakespeare’s finest on the Head’s lawn next week.
Just one part of an activity week packed with fun and creativity, our year 7 and 8 pupils will spend a day baking delicious treats, diving into a stage combat workshop, and rehearsing for their very own Shakespeare Shorts performances. Every member of QMH will take to the stage for this joyful & delicious event.
A big old dollop of Cake & Culture… well, what’s not to love?!

Sports Day 2025 was nothing short of spectacular—brought our school community together for a full afternoon of energy, competition, and unforgettable spirit. Pupils from across the year groups took to the fields in full house colours, cheered on by peers, staff, and led with pride by their Housemasters.
From sprint finishes to high jumps, it was a day packed with healthy competition, camaraderie, laughter—and of course, ice creams in the sun.
At King Edward’s, we champion resilience, belonging, and the courage to try—values that shone through in every event and every pupil who stepped onto the track. This is what strength of character looks like, and we couldn’t be prouder.
