Partnerships

At King Edward’s, Partnerships is part of our DNA.

Here at King Edward’s, we greatly value our relationship with state schools in the wider, local community. Each year, we partner with numerous local schools. Activities range from regular workshops in areas as diverse as Mathematics, Computing, Art, Science, Music, Drama, Coding, Dance, and Sport. A significant number of KES students help to lead these activities, developing personal attributes and experiences as well as, at times, volunteering their time as part of completing the Duke of Edinburgh Award. School students benefit from the facilities and equipment available at KES; the expertise of staff and students leading the groups; and the opportunity to try new activities.

“The Partnership Programme has extended my horizons; it gives me the opportunity to think about my community and all the many different ways I can be involved. Learning how to create enjoyable and stimulating projects for primary school students to enjoy has taught me many valuable skills such as time-management and creativity.” - KES Pupil from the Arts Partnership
