In the penultimate week before the Christmas holiday, our year 11’s came into school to experience a day as a KWS sixth former. Students arrived in their smart, casual sixth form dress and participated in a full timetable of sixth form lessons. Some highlights included the dissection of a heart in an A level biology […]
On Tuesday 5th and Wednesday 6th December, 104 pupils in Yr11 visited the Radlett Reform Synagogue as part of their Jewish Practices module within GCSE Religious Studies. It was a great opportunity to experience some of the things that have been and will be studied, and will hopefully aid pupils in their very first GCSE exam in May. Pupils used the visit to […]
Last week, we took the wonderful year 7s to Norfolk to develop students’ social skills and to build new friendships. The students had the opportunity to try exciting activities such as kayaking, fencing and caving. The experience offered students a safe and supportive environment to try new activities outside of the classroom. For a lot […]
On the “Beyond Year 11” drop down day, we had lots of great opportunities to have sessions with different colleges, universities and companies offering apprenticeships, to look at careers and education opportunities post-16. Firstly, my form had a speaker from Parker Hannifin (Gail Anthony), a manufacturing company, who talked to us about how their creations […]
This last week we have had an array of activities to mark Diwali at KWS including the very popular (and what has now become annual) event of Rangoli. Students really enjoyed themselves using the decorative sand to make traditional patterns one lunchtime while listening to some traditional music chosen by older students who celebrate Diwali […]

Wednesday provided an entertaining afternoon of cricket, which saw our Year 9 & 10 combined side lose agonisingly in the last over against St George’s. Posting a credible 126, St George’s chased down our total with 2 balls of their innings remaining, despite a late flurry of wickets. Well done to Marco (31) and Henry […]
