At our first online Founder’s Day ceremony on 14 October 2020, we celebrated the achievements of our pupils.
The ceremony featured a welcome from the Chief Master, the notification of prizes, a vote of thanks from the School Captain, Jimmy Yuan, and even a rendition of the school song. Mayor of the West Midlands and Old Edwardian, Andy Street CBE, was our guest speaker and spoke about his time at KES and the importance of social mobility and our Assisted Places Scheme.
Daniel has made an enormous contribution to school life at KES. A gifted all-rounder, he captained the First XV rugby team to the national finals at Twickenham, represented the school in water polo at national level, and took part in countless music concerts.
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.
