Honouring the Legacy of Major Charity Adams and the 6888 Battalion

On Wednesday 15 October 2025, we gathered to celebrate our annual Founder’s Day ceremony. A cherished tradition at King Edward’s School, this special event shines a spotlight on the remarkable achievements of our Lower and Middle School pupils.

King Edward’s School is thrilled to announce another year of excellent GCSE results, showcasing our pupils’ hard work, ambition and breadth of achievement.

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.
