The King's School is designated as a school with a religious character by the Department for Children, Schools and Families and therefore it is a requirement that the successful applicant will be a practicing Christian in accordance with the Spiritual ethos of the School.  We are currently an Independent school, but are in the process of applying for VA status.  We will, therefore, only be calling applicants for interview who have qualified teacher status. 

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of pupils and the successful applicant will therefore need to undertake an enhanced CRB Disclosure.

Application forms and further details are available from Mrs H Hetherington, School Secretary.

Aid for Haiti PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 22 January 2010

In a few days time, bags of food, water, blankets, toiletries and clothing donated by pupils and families from The King's School will be flown out to Haiti to help those whose lives have been devastated by the recent earthquake. 

Following Monday's assembly in which pupils were made aware of the scale of the disaster and the desperate plight of the survivors, there has been an overwhelming response to an appeal for aid.  As the week has progressed, it has been fantastic to see piles of donations building up in the School hall, with pupils arriving each day carrying bags full of items for Haiti.  There has been a lovely sense of working together to make a difference and express God's love in a practical way.

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed.

Christmas Celebrations PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 08 December 2009

There is a sense of excitement in the School as we countdown to Christmas.  Infant and Junior pupils have been working hard to learn the script and songs for this year's nativity.  The rest of the School were treated to the first performance on Monday afternoon and it was fantastic!

Meanwhile, a group of Seniors under the banner of Free-2-Serve have been busy rehearsing an original production called, 'The Star of Christmas'.  It features a photographer who is trying to capture the essence of Christmas in a photograph.  There are some great comedy moments in it, as well as a serious message of keeping Jesus at the centre of Christmas.  From the 14 December, the Free-2-Serve team will be performing the play in primary schools around the City.  Please pray for them.

The last week of term will see the pupils enjoying a whole-school carol service and class Christmas parties.  On behalf of everyone at The King's School, we would like to wish you a very happy Christmas!

 
Film-making PDF Print E-mail
Monday, 28 September 2009

During the last four weeks of this half term, pupils from The King's School will be working together to produce a film about the history of the School.  Facilitated by a team from Gallagher Productions, pupils will be involved in all aspects of the filmmaking process, from researching to presenting and producing.

The project will mainly involve pupils from Year 9, but there will also be opportunities for many others to be involved at some level.  This is an exciting project to be a part of, particularly at such a momentous time in the life of the School.  We would like to take this opportunity to thank the team at Gallagher Productions for making the project possible.

 
Sports Equipment for Ghana PDF Print E-mail
Monday, 28 September 2009

As you may remember, in 2007/08, we collected Sainsbury's Active Kids vouchers on behalf of The King's School in Ghana, as a way of showing our love and support for others not so well provided for as ourselves.

With your help, we collected over 8,000 vouchers, enabling us to purchase the best equipment pack available.  The equipment has now safely arrived in Ghana and is being enjoyed by the pupils there.

Some parents may remember 'Free-2-Serve'.  We are running this great activity again this year.  A number of senior pupils will be taking the Christmas message to city primary schools.  This is an opportunity for pupils to use their creative skills in an exciting and meaningful way.  Auditions and rehearsals will start soon!
