[email protected] facebook.com/KESSheffield twitter.com/KESSheffield NEWSLETTER May 2019 Welcome to the second School newsletter of 2018-2019. King Edward VII School has had a very successful year so far and the bumper edition of this newsletter will make compelling reading for School members and the wider community. The articles, and shorter contributions, provide a genuine insight into the philosophy, ethos and life of the School, the opportunities available to students, the unconditional commitment of staff and governors and the legacy that the School has had on Old Edwardians. You will have the opportunity to read about how students are maintaining academic excellence in various subjects, alongside maintaining the tradition of success in many sports, art and music. Partnership work with external organisations, particularly with the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University, feature strongly in this newsletter. Climate change is the global issue that has galvanised young people to act as part of the coordinated Youth Strike 4 Climate movement. One student has documented her views in this newsletter. September 2019 will mark the fiftieth anniversary since girls first joined the School in the Sixth Form in 1969! The School intends to mark this significant occasion during the autumn term. If you were one of the first girls to join the School or if you have any information relevant to this special period in the School’s history, please contact the School. If you have an article that would be of interest to our School community, please email it to
[email protected] for consideration.
