We are delighted to announce that our Spring Concert will take place on Wednesday 11th March, and it promises to be a fantastic evening of music-making from across the school.

This year’s concert will showcase the breadth and talent of our musicians, with performances from our orchestra, choir and soloists across multiple year groups. Highlights will include powerful orchestral arrangements with music from Wicked and How to Train Your Dragon, alongside a range of solo and ensemble performances from our Year 10 and Year 11 students, demonstrating both musical skill and confidence.

Our choir will also take to the stage, joined by a variety of additional performances that celebrate the diversity and energy of Music at KWS. Whether you enjoy large-scale ensemble pieces or more intimate solo performances, there will be something for everyone to enjoy.

Further information, including details on how to purchase tickets, will be shared with parents and carers after half term. We look forward to welcoming you to another memorable evening of live music and celebrating the hard work and dedication of our students.

This term, ​w​e have many Period 7 ​s​essions running ​which are driven by the vision and leadership of ​our students themselves. From global diplomacy to high-level engineering, students are no longer just participants​: they are the architects of their own enrichment.

The diversity of the sessions is a testament to student ambition. Model United Nations has seen such a surge in popularity that it now convenes twice weekly, while ​a​n Engineering program is successfully navigating its second block of hands-on innovation. Meanwhile, in the Mathematics department, a select group of Year 9 students ​are tackling high-level challenges in pursuit of the prestigious Algebra Award.

The initiative isn’t limited to traditional academics. Responding to a request from the Prom Committee, ​we have launched a dedicated creative session for Year 11s to design bespoke accessories and decorations for their June celebration. This oversubscribed Thursday session has become a hub of creativity, proving that when students take the lead, engagement follows.
