⭐What is it like to join KES Sixth Form? ⭐ Visitors to KES often ask what to expect when you join King Edward's in the Sixth Form, or how does it compare to lower down the School, so we asked Mr Benedict, Head of Sixth Form, for an insight. "The Sixth Form is the most exciting culmination of your school life: it is the liminal space between childhood and adulthood, and a time when KES nurtures its young people to be ready for their next adventure. "Our Sixth Form is a place where students have agency and autonomy – whether it is the range of passions they choose to pursue, or the diverse subjects they choose to study – as well as a time of new friendships, new freedoms, and new experiences. But the Sixth Form is more than its academic performance. It is a space of safety and support, of risk-taking and challenge, of failure and resilience. We prepare young people to be equipped for the unknowable world they will inherit in terms of emotional regulation and life skills, of critical thinking and tech utility. "You cannot navigate the world with any aptitude without a bit of knowledge, a dose of difficulty, and a lot of hard work, and so a rich and thriving Sixth Form experience prepares young people with compassion and aspiration. "The world our students will encounter is changing at an inexorable rate and so the young people who leave KES will need to be flexible and nimble thinkers, with myriad skills and diverse portfolios, critical faculties and a global conscience, a sense of humour and a sense of purpose. But always, always, with that sense of adventure."

Second Chances & Summer Sun: Making the Most of Summer School (TGIF!) Sunshine, pool floats, and...summer school? . . . . . Don't worry, this summer session can be a blast! This year, I'm helping students rock their credit recovery courses and turn those "second chances" into sweet summer success stories. Here's why summer school can be a win-win: Catch Up & Conquer: Students can get back on track with the credits they need, opening doors to future opportunities. Beat the Heat (Kinda): Smaller class sizes and a focused environment can lead to a more relaxed and productive learning experience. Summer Fun Awaits: Fulfilling academic goals frees up time for all the fun summer activities you deserve! So, if you're facing credit recovery this summer, don't despair! With the right mindset and a little hard work, it can be a positive and rewarding experience. #summerschool #creditrecovery #secondchance #education #summerfun
