Our Languages faculty ran a cake making competition to celebrate European Languages Day yesterday. The competition was open to all of our year 7 students. We had 37 entries which you can see over in our European Languages Day photo album. Thank you to all the students who entered the competition, it was lovely to see so many students in Year 7 starting to be part of the KES community. You are all #KESway. The competition was judged by our Heads of House staff who found it hard to decided on a winner as the standard was so high, but they finally agreed on the top 4 as follows: 1st place – Millie - Cake with Bagette, Wine and flowers 2nd place – Sofia - Ukranian Peace Flag cake 3rd place – Dominiks Latvian Book cake 4th Place - Special Mention to Alfie for his Irish hat cake Congratulations to Millie, Sofia, Dominiks, and Alfie.

Each week in Years 7, 8 and 9, KS3 Heads of Year nominate Superstars of the Week - students who have gone above and beyond and deserve special recognition. We are now extending this into Years 10 and 11, but with a slight twist. For Years 10 and 11, the nominations will come from any member of staff, rather than just the Head of Year. With that in mind, Mrs Heatley and Miss Tomsett are pleased to announce the following as their KS4 Superstars of the Week:

Congratulations to all our Year 11 students who have received their GCSE results. We enjoyed celebrating with all our students, especially those who have achieved more than they thought possible. James, Honey, Justin, Jonathan, Kira and Molly, all achieved over 2 grades above their expected grade in most subjects and some of our high performing students, with grades 8 and 9, include Molly, Aidan, Kira, Alexander, Sofey, Sarah, Hannah, Billy, Evie and Chaithra. Special mention also goes to Joanna who, on top of achieving excellent grades in her exams at KES, completed an additional GCSE in Chinese and achieved a grade 9. We are delighted that many of our students will be continuing their educational journey with us in our Sixth Form and we wish students who are leaving us all the best in their next steps and for their future plans. Everyone at KES is incredibly proud of our students’ achievements and the results they have achieved, and we look forward to welcoming our new Year 12 students on their first day in Sixth Form on Monday 5th September.
