“Enrichment and education can happen in a variety of different ways. Finding those opportunities through our school’s programme can not only build lifelong interests, but it can develop numerous skills that simply cannot be achieved in a classroom.” More than ever, families are realising that schools with a wealth of opportunities outside the classroom also have students that are very able to achieve academically. King’s Ely prides itself on being an academic school, but not a hothouse. Not only have my teachers done an incredible job of supporting me through my academic journey at King’s, but they have also been like friends to me and so many others throughout my time. This has made my journey so special, and one that I wish I could go back and experience again” Old Elean, Jessica Harding who joined Royal Holloway, University of London last September to study English and American literature
There is a huge emphasis on personal development, both academically and socially. Yes, we rejoice in the success of students who achieve the highest accolades, but equally we celebrate young people who find the demands more challenging, yet still reach or exceed expectations through passion, commitment and hard work. Our students are renowned for their energy, courage and integrity. The adventure of a King’s Ely education enables pupils to flourish – whether that be our Reception children bolstering their team-building skills in Forest School, or our year 13 students reaping the benefits of being an Ely Scheme Outdoor Education pupil instructor. The progress students make from start to finish of their King’s Ely journey is astounding, accounting for our high placement in local and national value-
