The chess team from King Edward’s School have convincingly won their league of the ECF National Schools Chess Championship to progress into the Zone Final.
On Wednesday, 15 January 2014, the King Edward’s School team made up of Aloysius Lip, Ashwin Kalyana, Mani Nijjar, Aaron Dhesi, Hugh Lilburn and Hari Nijjar beat King Edward VI Five Ways 6-0 and will proceed to the Zone Final later this term.
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.
King Edward’s School pupils have achieved their best IB results since 2019, with an average score of 38.16 and five students earning a perfect 45. These outstanding results open doors to top universities worldwide.
