Miss Proops delivered an inspirational assembly to the whole school on 27th April about Captain Tom Moore and his incredibly successful fundraising initiative which, to date, has raised over £29 million. Our girls were asked to think about how to stay positive. Miss Proops described how the NHS has created some innovative ‘wobble rooms’ to help staff manage the stress and anxiety associate with treating Covid-19 patients.

Culture Week wasn’t just a week, it was a reflection of who we are as a school. It was a reminder that diversity isn’t just something we talk about at KEHS. It’s something we embrace.
