We love reading at King Edward’s and we are celebrating World Book Day all week with a range of activities for students and staff. There are lots of prizes to be won.

Student and Staff Book Quiz

Staff and students will be 

competing in our annual WBD Quiz.  Mrs Sibbald is our current WBD Quiz Staff Champion – who will be the one to knock her off the top spot? All students and staff can enter here: QUIZ HERE. 

Shelfie Quiz 

Tutor groups will be having a go at completing the SHELFIE quiz – staff have taken pictures of their bookcases showing what they love to read and students have to guess which bookshelf belongs to which staff member.

Book in a Jar Hunt

There are lots of jam-jars containing excerpts from popular books on teachers desks. Students will be given response sheets to complete – they need to find the jars, identify the book and submit their form to the LRC by lunchtime on Friday 3 March. 

What’s that Quote?

Success for Seb

15th February 2023Andrew Baxter
Congratulations to Seb Parreira in Year 10 who returned to school this week as the British Prokart Endurance Championship Winter Series Clubman Class Champion along with his team mate, Max.

The youngest team on the grid, competing against some of the country’s top Prokart drivers, Seb and Max competed in two endurance races in Oxfordshire and Lincolnshire. They won both races in their kart class, and were also voted Drivers of the Day in the first race. The overall Championship win means the team have won the option to wear the O plate in place of their usual race number for the 2023 season which starts next month.

Well done Seb!
