Following KCS’s active support of the Merton Borough Championships, 13 boys across the age groups gained selection to represent Merton in the Surrey Schools Championships. Of particular note were Ed Martin (Lower Sixth) and Hugh Train (Upper Fifth), who both finished in the top twenty in their respective age groups. This meant they achieved selection for Surrey in the Southern Inter-Counties Championships, a feat not achieved often by KCS pupils. |

Lingua Franca - Rosie Millard |
|
 A large group of sixth-formers from King’s and the Ursuline High School gathered after school on Tuesday 2 March for a talk to the Modern Languages Society, Lingua Franca, by the well-known Sunday Times journalist, Rosie Millard.
Retracing the route of a recent tour of France’s overseas territories she had undertaken with her husband and young family, the speaker vividly described France’s heavily-subsidised ‘DOM-TOM’, or overseas domains and territories. The talk was highly polemical at times, and provoked a passionate and articulate debate between the speaker and the audience. |
