Work Experience for Year 10
Work Experience for Year 10 will take place from 3rd March 2025 to 7th March 2025. The deadline for securing work experience placements is 1st January 2025. Half term is an ideal opportunity for students to contact employers, inquire about work experience, and secure placements.
If employers have not responded to emails and phone calls, please follow up, as their priority is not our priority and will show the student is keen to find a placement.
We are still seeking work experience placements for our Year 10 students. If anyone within our school community is able to offer a placement, please contact Mrs. Maslen or Mr. Roche.
Thank you for your support!

Attention Parents and Carers:
Do any of the following items belong to your child? If so, please advise them to come to K15 to collect their belongings.
We also want to remind students that if they have lost anything, they should retrace their steps and visit our Admin Centre in K15. We can help them check for any lost items and take a record of what's missing.
Additionally, please remember to label all possessions, as this is vital for us to return items to their rightful owners.
Thank you for your cooperation!

🏉 Year 7 Rugby Festival Recap! 🏉
The Year 7 Rugby team participated in a fantastic Rugby Festival at Appleton School. The team demonstrated excellent KES values, showcasing great team spirit and impressive performances, especially considering it was their first-ever rugby match! 🌟
We teamed up with Appleton, who didn’t have enough players for their own team, and our students quickly made new friends.
In our first match, we faced the King John team and secured an amazing victory, which is no small feat given their strong rugby reputation! 🏆
Overall, it was an incredible experience for the team, and we look forward to our next opponent!

On Friday, September 18th, The King Edmund School participated in the Thorpe Hall Cross-Country Relay event! 🌟
This fantastic event featured teams of four runners, each racing a course as fast as they could. The goal? To be the quickest team back! 🏃♂️🏃♀️
All our students demonstrated incredible commitment, both individually and as part of their teams. They were a pleasure to be with for the day, and the team managers were impressed by their positive attitudes.
Our students faced tough competition, including Southend High and Eastwood, who are all national cross-country athletes. 🏅
Looking ahead, to ensure success in our district competition in November, it’s crucial that all students attend training sessions: Tuesdays before club and Fridays after school. Let’s keep up the great work! 💪

On Friday, we were fortunate to have the Anti-Bullying Alliance come in to work with our Anti-Bully Council Ambassadors and Prefects. They trained them to become Anti-Bully Council mentors. Our students learned how to improve their listening and communication skills, and we discussed ways to enhance the work of the Anti-Bully Council at KES. This was an amazing opportunity for our fantastic students, and we’re excited to put everything we’ve learned into practice!
A reminder to all students: The Anti-Bully Council is open to everyone during break times in J8!

We took all of our Year 13s to a local careers fair held at the Cliffs Pavilion a few weeks ago. Instead of a 'Get Ready With Me' video, we made a 'Come to a Careers Fair with Us' video. It was a great opportunity for students to experience a careers fair and work on their communication skills and confidence.
It was fantastic to see our students engaging with employers and finding out first-hand what they need to do to be considered for their next role.
Thanks to Flynne Plant Training, RPG Crouch Chapman LLP (RPGCC), Affinity Fostering Services Ltd, and Live Well Southend."
