Leavers' Ball

At the end of the year we said farewell to our year 13s. As is traditional, the end of their time here was celebrated with the Leavers' Ball in Summerhill Mansion. All the very best to our boys as they move on to the next chapter in their lives.
Mr Forrester also left us this year after eight years of being our Resident Assistant Housemaster. He moves with his family to Thailand to take up the post of Head of EAL at Rugby International School. The very best of luck to you Foz! Thank you - you will be missed.

Last week

Another busy week comes to an end. A huge round of applause for all of the boys who took part in the fantastic junior production of "Bugsy Malone" last week. Each night the students performed to a packed, very hot audience in the Kingswood Theatre and looked like they were having tremendous fun. It was great to see future Hall House boys Oli, Kit, Matthew and Peter involved. We look forward to welcoming these talented boys to the house in September. For photographs of this amazing production, go to the house twitter page @KWS_HallHouse


A group of year 10 boys went on the beach trip today kindly organised by Mr Chua and Miss Wright. It looks like they had a great time.

KATS - The Music and Drama awards

A great night was had at the fifteenth annual KATS awards on Saturday night. It was a superb event with great food, entertainment and above all recognition of some outstanding performances and contributions to the arts at Kingswood over the last 12 months. It was thrilling to see how many Hall boys were nominated in these awards and we were exceptionally proud of Henry and James who both won awards. Below are a selection of photographs from what was a memorable night.

Residents walk

The sun shone last weekend as the whole onsite community walked some of the Cotswold Way and raised some money for charity. It was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon and gave the boys a nice break from their revision as exams loom ever closer.
