The two Head Choristers at Birmingham Cathedral are boys from King Edward’s School.
Ashley Smith and Oliver Reeve, both in the Rems, sing at services during term time and have the opportunity to perform in concerts at the Cathedral and at other venues in the Midlands and beyond.
As well as gaining performance experience, choristers receive training in music theory and recently several have gained Oxbridge music scholarships.
Commissioned by Central BID Birmingham and curated by art historian Ruth Millington, the exhibition showcases rare, never-before-seen material from Child’s personal archive and the Lee Child Archive. Highlights include handwritten drafts, private photographs, book covers, report cards from KES and fan mail, all with the author’s direct involvement.
On Remembrance Day, King Edward’s School stood united in honouring the courage of those who have served. We held the Remembrance Ceremony on the Parade Ground led by our Combined Cadets Force (CCF).
The experience was like no other; we traversed through the cave, wading through puddles, and we even had an outstanding experience of cave diving. We had to crawl through very small holes, but I managed to do so and had a lovely time.
