Recently a number of our Lower Sixth pupils attended an inspiring London Careers Festival event with experts in their fields, Professor Martin Elliott and Professor Robin May.
Professor Elliott specialises in open heart surgery for babies at Great Ormond Street Hospital. Our pupils learnt about his career journey towards realising his specialisation as well as the various entry opportunities into the medical profession and the importance maths plays in planning surgery.
Professor May is a specialist in infectious diseases. He also shared an incredible and diverse career journey and how he now uses his knowledge and experience in human infectious diseases to advise the government as the Chief Scientific Adviser for the FSA.
With insightful advice from both experts, our pupils learnt that a career, especially in science, is not a destination but a journey of discovery to be explored and enjoyed.

‘Boarders’ Big Trip’
A very large and enthusiastic proportion of our boarding pupils and staff took advantage of an extensive cultural visit to London recently. Pupils embraced the opportunity to experience Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures - Red Shoes at Sadler’s Wells, Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night at the Barbican, and travelled back 2000 years with VR and cutting edge tech to immerse themselves in the Last Days of Pompeii at Excel London.
A brilliant evening for all and a great example of the exciting and diverse weekend activities offered within our boarding programme at King Edward’s.

🏙️ We were incredibly grateful to AXA for opening their offices and allowing our pupils to experience working life in a busy City office.
Our pupils enjoyed a tour of their amazing offices on 16th floor with scenic views across the City. They met with AXA and AXA XL apprentices and interns who shared their varied career journeys and gave tips and insights into careers in insurance and risk management before meeting The Chartered Insurance Institute (CII), the professional body dedicated to building trust in the insurance and financial planning profession.
The CII team ran an interactive game of risk competition for our pupils to experience the kind of critical thinking decisions professionals risk managers need to make during times of crisis. An incredible, work experience and networking opportunity for all.

⚽️ Heartbreak but heads held very high for our U15 Boys who lost their ISFA Trophy final 1-0 after extra time today.
The boys were superb and couldn’t have worked any harder. They have shown so much commitment and team spirit all season - we couldn’t be prouder of them.
