At The King Edward VI School, we value learning in addition to and beyond an academic curriculum.  We advocate for all of our students to develop attributes of Accomplished Students; where we recognise success in addition to academic outcomes. It is important for us to provide opportunities outside of the classroom where students can develop and demonstrate their resilience, responsibility, respect, care, curiosity and motivation; all of which provide a valuable foundation for success after school.

When students join us in Year 9, they arrive from three main feeder schools. It is important that students, alongside their tutor, quickly develop strong and positive working relationships. In order to support this development, all students in Year 9 took part in a morning or afternoon of team building with their peers.

The event itself took place over 3 days with all 12 tutor groups having some great fun, whilst developing problem solving and leadership skills. We even had great weather for 2 out of the 3 days!

A huge thank you to our parents who contributed a donation and the Foundation Governors for supporting us to provide this opportunity for our students.
