Our year 13 leavers

The final House entertainment took place last night.  After the disappointment of the cancelled Sports Day, we were able to celebrate the end of year when the sun came out in the evening.  Enjoy looking at the pictures above!

House Athletics

Sadly, the Senior Sports day had to be abandoned due to an horrendous downpour. However, before the heavens opened we were able to watch several of our boys run superbly in the 1500 and compete in the long and high jump.

Hall House barbecue

The sun shone today so we had a barbecue!  The boys then had fun chucking the rugby ball around in the garden after eating. It is great being able to make the most of the fact we can now open the house doors to a garden - another benefit of this great new boarding house.

KATS

Last night was the KATS (Kingswood Artistically Talented Students) awards evening for all of the students who study the creative arts subjects at GCSE or A Level.  Hall House was well represented as can be seen from the photographs below. What was particularly pleasing was it wasn't just the fact we had so many students there but also that we had a number of nominees and winners. Well done to everyone involved in one way or another.

Welcome back

As the boys all arrive back for the final half term of the year, I thought you might like to see a couple of photographs from a barbecue that was held for the boarders just before our week's break. Hopefully the weather will improve enough for us to have a couple of Hall House barbecues over the next few weekends - look out for photographs.
This final half term is always very busy as year 11 finish off their GCSE examinations; year 12 finish their AS levels and then embark on work experience and the year 13 boys complete the last few weeks of their time at Kingswood.  I hope to post lots of photographs over the forthcoming weeks showing the boys involved in many events.  Please let me know of any specific achievements that your sons have been involved in so that we can celebrate it on this blog. Enjoy the summer.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of our Nepalese families.

Welcome Back

It is great to see everyone back for the final term of the 2014/15 academic year.  We are now into the "Examination" term. Hopefully all of the hard work and revision that the boys put in during the Easter break will pay off.
I have some good news about Jonathan in year 13 who represented Kingswood in the National School's Modern Biathlon at the beginning of the Easter holidays. 

The event took place at the Olympic Park in Stratfor, London, on Sunday 29th March.It was a fantastic opportunity to compete at such a prestigious venue along with the best young biathletes in the country. Jonny was placed 10th after his swim and despite strong wind and rain making running conditions difficult during his 1600m heat, he finished 11th overall in the Under 19 Boys category. Well done Jonny.  Let's hope you can lead the boys to triumph in the House swimming gala this Wednesday.
