Parents' Poll

Should Britain leave the European Union?




Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt

Fond farewells: the end of the season for our Debating Society (motto: 'There's a good argument for joining')

This week the examination season gets into full swing. Good luck to all our students - and their parents! - during this nail-biting time. We'll be there to support you with revision sessions and advice sessions.

On Friday we said a temporary farewell to Year 11 members of our highly successful Debating Society, and a final farewell to one of its stars Kritica Dwidedi in Year 13. She began debating with us in Year 9 and has made the national finals of many competitions, as well as being the brilliant Chair of our School Council Teaching & Learning Committee.

Well done last week to our Year 10 football team who became West Suffolk champions. We hope that this week, alongside the Year 10 rugby team they will become Suffolk champions. Good luck.

If you left King Edward VI School in the past twenty years or so, then you may not be aware of how much the site has redeveloped. As part of our Old Burians' Association link, we would love to see any former students who left between 1972 and 2002 and to give you a tour. The reunion is on Saturday 15 June, 3:30 to 5pm - a chance to visit the school site and meet old friends. For more information, see our 'Alumni' pages here.

Finally, well done to students on our extensive Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme programme who have completed their bronze and silver expeditions over the past two weeks - and thank you to all the staff who have accompanied them.
