KING EDWARD VI SCHOOL PROVIDES SPORT AND CO- CURRICULAR OPPORTUNITIES, ONLINE
Like most schools, King Edward VI School, located in the heart of Southampton, is closed due to the Lockdown. Despite this, King Edward’s, school
to just under 1000 aged 11-18, has continued to provide its pupils with a full programme of over 40 clubs, challenges, sport sessions and activities.
From performing arts, history and language clubs, to weekly online book discussions, there is an opportunity for every student, whatever their interest, to get involved.The Green Team meet online once a week, and pupils are working with the Head to implement positive environmental changes in the school.
Just one outcome so far has been that the school has started working with a local business who offer more sustainable disposable solutions.The Sports Department has launched a school wide ‘Race to Tokyo’ challenge whereby staff, parents and students are encouraged to submit any distance covered through exercise, in a bid to get to Tokyo for the Olympics.There is also yoga for athletes, lockdown cricket and netball drills on offer, as well as a talk from sailing double Olympic silver medal winner, Mr Ian Walker.
The school believes that through providing pupils with different ways to be creative, connect with peers and build new skills, they equip students for all aspects of life.To find out more about King EdwardVI School and enquire about 2022 admissions for 11+, 13+ or Sixth Form, please email Mrs Sheppard at registrar@kes. hants.sch.uk
