Having won the Regionals late in the Autumn Term, the KES Senior Schools’ Challenge team – Ben Fernando (c), Andrew Macarthur, Yanbo Yin and Nick Wyatt – travelled to the Perse School in Cambridge to play the (single) Inter-Regional round of the competition.
The boys ran out convincing winners, 1010 – 680, with all playing a significant part in the victory.
The National Finals await at the end of April and the team hope to retain the trophy won by the KES champions last year.

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.
Huge congratulations to Barnaby Lenon CBE, who has received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2025 Tes Schools Awards!
What was astonishing was the pros did the whole thing for five minutes in each, doing 5X what we did. All in all, the trip was interesting and insightful, and on behalf of everyone that went, I want to thank Mr Macdonald, Mr Caviezel-Cox and Mr Lloyd for organising it.
Discover what makes our school special. Join us for our 11+ Open Evening on Thursday 11 September 2025 from 5pm.
