We are delighted that King’s College School has been named as the Sunday Times International Baccalaureate School of the Year.  This is an exceptional achievement and comes after our first all IB cohort averaged an outstanding 38.9 points in their IB Diploma.  It is a great tribute to the hard work of pupils and the dedication of teaching staff.  For full details please click on the link below.

We are delighted by this year’s Oxbridge offers for 2010 entry which have resulted in a fantastic total of 34 offers being made to King’s pupils.  31 conditional offers were made to Upper Sixth boys while a further 3 unconditional offers were made to leavers from 2009. 

In total 18 offers have been made by Cambridge & 16 by Oxford and offers have been received in nearly all subject areas from Natural Sciences and Engineering to Archaeology and Anthropology.

In an application round of increasingly fierce competition this represents an outstanding achievement; congratulations to all successful applicants. 

The 1st XI have recently played three matches in quick succession recording two wins and one defeat.  One of these victories came against City of London School which means that KCS have qualified for the semi-finals of the Trinity Cup.

Please read on for match reports from the three fixtures.

A new cohort of aspirational Year-9s from our partner schools came into King’s last Saturday for their first session in our Aspirations Project.

After attending a carousel of workshops delivered by our staff in Maths, Science, Chinese, English and Drama, the pupils rejoined their parents for refreshments in the new Sixth Form centre. Many King’s boys gave up their Saturday morning to provide support and inspiration.

The Year-10s in the project will be returning next month for a session on the theme ‘Exploring the Planets’, which will be led by Dr Leah-Nani Alconcel of Imperial College.

The scheme involves pupils from King's, Coombe Boys’ and Girls’ Schools, the Ursuline, Ricards, Raynes Park and Grey Court High Schools, and is endorsed by London Gifted and Talented.

On Saturday 30th January, KCS football recorded their best ever results against Brighton College. KCS recorded wins in all 12 fixtures, scoring 75 goals in the process and conceding only 3.

In January the school hosted an evening in memory of Paul Mervis. Paul lost his life in Afghanistan whilst serving as a Lieutenant in the Rifles.

The reception was held in the Great Hall where a small plaque bearing Paul's name has now been added to the War Memorial. Paul's parents were joined by other members of his family, school and university friends, and staff who remember Paul as a boy.

Gordon McGinn, Paul's Head of House, and Patrick Nathanson (OK) spoke movingly and with great humour about Paul's time at KCS.
