“Currently the most exciting school in London” is how King’s was recently described by a former cabinet minister. After one year as Head Master, watching – in some awe – the extraordinary range of activities into which boys throw themselves with such purpose and ability, I can only agree. The panorama of King’s life is an unusually broad one, and you can be proud of the way your sons give it life, colour and energy. In this letter, I will sum up some of the key events of the term, whilst inevitably failing to do justice to the countless sports, activities, meetings, visits and achievements taking place every day at this inspiring school.

At the start of this term I wrote to you summarising the results of the parental questionnaire which was sent out in May. In response to concerns regarding the provision of games at the school, I said that I would carry out a thorough review of our sports policy with the PE and Games department. As a result of that review, a statement of the philosophy of the PE and Games department has been produced together with a set of aims. Both these documents are enclosed and I would be happy to receive any comments about them.

On Friday 9 January Sarah-Jane Morris (mother of Otis in 4th form) will be in concert in Collyer Hall. Tickets are £15 each and will be available on a first come first served basis and all proceeds from the concert will support the provision of bursaries.

We are proud of being a school that has embraced the International Baccalaureate, a qualification whose popularity has grown exponentially among top UK independent schools in the last few years. In doing so, we have proved one of the strongest IB schools in the world, our pupils’ outstanding exam results confirming the national and international academic reputation of our forward-looking and successful school.
