KWS has been awarded a Modeshift Stars Silver Awards for our commitment to sustainable travel. The school has an active travel plan and travel plan committee that works hard to ensure the way students travel to school reaches certain targets. We now have nearly 90% of students travelling by sustainable means.
Over the last two weeks, over 100 students auditioned for our school production and rehearsals begin this week!
To avoid the Bank Holiday, we are also moving the production to Thursday 19th May – Saturday 21st May with four performances over three days.

Mr Bullock and Mr Church
It’s been a busy few weeks in the PE department. We have seen some excellent work produced in recent Year 8 girls gymnastic lessons.
Our Year 9 netball team also put in a very positive performance against STAGS on Tuesday. Well done to all those involved.
Wednesday saw our Year 8 rugby boys team travel to the home of Saracens, the StoneX Stadium, to participate in a tournament against other schools. They played 3 games – winning 1 comfortably, drawing 1 and losing 1. Special mention goes to Jamil E, Maxton B and Aaron N, who Mr Ellershaw deemed player of the day. However, all boys played very well and did the school proud.
Four of our players have got into the Saracens Player Programme. Congratulations to Jamil E, Kaavy S, Oliver Sh, and Brodie G.
Congratulations to Becky D, Annalisa R, and Pearl P for achieving their red belt in kickboxing during the self defence classes that have been taking place since last year.
Finally, our football season begins this Saturday with fixtures for all year groups against Townsend School. We look forward to this very much!
Mr Alexander
At KWS we will be celebrating the Chinese New Year next week with a special themed menu on Wednesday 2nd February. Students will also have the opportunity to make dumplings during their MFL lessons.

Ski Trip – March 2023
We are looking to launch our first Ski Trip in the Easter half term 2023, available to all current years. We will be heading to Alpe D’Huez in France, where the students will enjoy 6 days of skiing with expert instructors and a number of fun apres ski activities. The trip will accommodate both beginner and intermediate skiers, providing students with the opportunity to be active, learn new skills and make new friends.
Keep an eye out for the official launch.

Thank you very much to the parents that have volunteered to support with rugby.
