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.
King Edward VI High School for Girls has been named the UK’s best value independent school for 2025 by The Telegraph, recognising its outstanding academic results, facilities and commitment to accessibility.
Huge congratulations to Barnaby Lenon CBE, who has received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2025 Tes Schools Awards!
When we were not out on trips, our pupils were attending lessons with their exchange partners in our partner school, the Gymnasium Oldenfelde in Hamburg-Rahlstedt. It was fascinating to see the many differences between the English and German school systems.
From the very first day to the last, we found ourselves entirely submerged in both modern and ancient Greek culture, from participating in a couple of chaotic dances to being taught (and quizzed) on different objects we hunted for in the museums.
