Our community service and charitable work at KEHS is extensive.
This involves girls from every year group and staff in fundraising for a multitude of good causes, and undertaking other service activities in the wider community – whilst having lots of fun and developing good character.
We are proud to have an incredibly long history of community service at KEHS. Raising money for important causes, going out and helping in the local community, and raising awareness of charities and organisations that are close to our hearts have been, and continue to be, a central part of school life.
The school has recently relaunched Community Service at KEHS as Care. Do. Give (CDG).
“The sums of money raised for local and international charities, the different workshops run for local primary schools, the visits and the hostings all confirm the responsible and generous position of the school reaching out to its surrounding community.”

At KEHS, we believe service education, community service and our CDG programme to be central to helping our students to become characterful, outward looking individuals who will go on to make a positive impact in our communities and beyond.
“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.”
