It has been a time of sporting success recently with a series of triumphs.
The U16 Hockey team won the County Championship, beating Rugby School in the final; the U14 and U16 Badminton teams won the Birmingham Schools Area Finals, both teams now qualifying for the Regional Finals to be held on 7th March and Paolo Odogwu has successfully made it through to the final stage of the Rugby England U16 selection.
Having succeeded in the competition, we were then given the opportunity to partake in an online Q&A session with the ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano, which was a very interesting and useful experience, where we learned a lot about life as an astronaut, especially what it is really like to spend time on the ISS.
King Edward’s School pupils have achieved their best IB results since 2019, with an average score of 37.95 and five students earning a perfect 45. These outstanding results open doors to top universities worldwide.
Overall, the trip showed our teamwork as a group flourish, and each of us began to notice our individual strengths.
Huge congratulations to Barnaby Lenon CBE, who has received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2025 Tes Schools Awards!
Discover what makes our school special. Join us for our 11+ Open Evening on Thursday 11 September 2025 from 5pm.
