There are around 50 clubs and societies that meet during lunchtime or after school, so there really is something to interest everyone.
Clubs and societies are a feature of life at KES and can play an important part in pupils’ personal and cultural development. From academic societies, to creative and sporting pursuits, and those that teach practical skills, there’s much to get involved in and boys can even set up their own.
Many meetings feature speakers from universities, commerce and industry while others might take the form of debates or presentations given by boys or staff.
Below you can view the clubs and societies that are meeting regularly. There are also a number of additional events taking place, which vary week by week and are emailed to all pupils in a weekly bulletin. Pupils can access further details for all of the meetings on Firefly.
