The event took place on Friday November 4, and featured pyrotechnics designed to produce the visual effects of everyday fireworks with less noise. The evening was a great success with over 1,800 people in attendance and helped towards this year’s fundraising target for the school’s science and music departments.
A massive thank you to all the Parental Volunteers who helped make the event a success but especially Ellie Renshaw (KWAF Chair) and Dean Inns, James Bullock and Danny Cain from the school for making the evening possible.
If you missed it this year, we hope to see you at the event next year.
As the weather starts to get colder and the need for students to keep warm we thought we would take this opportunity to remind you of the rules surrounding the KWS PE Kit.
Students should wear KWS Branded PE Kit at all times and we have a variety of optional items to provide additional warmth available from both Beats School Uniform and Smarty Schoolwear.
Mid-Layer (Recommended) – KWS Branded
Tracksuit Bottoms – KWS Branded
We have also introduced KWS Branded Leggings which are available from both Beats School Uniform and Smarty Schoolwear (information attached). KWS Branded Leggings may be worn on their own without a Skort/Shorts over the top.
Students may wear plain black underlayers under their PE Kit for warmth but the top layer of clothing should always be KWS Branded.
In the event of financial difficulties with the cost of school uniform please contact the school finance department on finance@kwschool.co.uk and we may be able to support with the cost of school uniform or put you in contact with a charity who are able to assist.
We will be carrying out Uniform Checks from Week Commencing 28th November to allow students time to comply with the new guidelines.
Thank you for your continued support in not parking in the roads close to the school, we have included our park and stride map to remind everyone of the areas where you can park which are within 10-20 minutes and 20-30 minutes walk from school. The map also shows the walking routes to and from school.
Now that winter is coming and it is getting darker in the evenings, we ask that you remind your children about the importance of wearing bright clothing and making themselves visible to others, especially vehicles.
If they ride a bike to and from school, it is a legal requirement for them to have a front and rear light on their bikes. You might also choose to remind them about wearing reflective accessories.
Please also remind them of the importance of looking properly before crossing the road, making themselves seen and avoiding distraction.
