On 26th June, we spent a glorious morning in the Principal’s garden with our current Upper Sixth. Our annual Leavers’ Party celebrates the girls’ successes and welcomes them as new members of the Old Edwardian Club. Leavers’ gifts in hand, the girls wiled away the morning with a picnic in the summer sunshine, reminiscing about their years at KEHS. As Club members, we’ll make sure that the girls continue to stay in touch with one another and with the school, offering them a vibrant careers network, lots of events, publications and reunions, and some exclusive Old Edwardian discounts. Parents are also welcome to join. Visit www.oldeds.kehs.org.uk for more information. We can’t wait to see what the wonderful Class of 2018 will go on to achieve!
