One set of technical specialists leave school for a well-earned break and another set come in.  

Good progress if being made with the many and varied maintenance works planned over the summer period.

Raising the roof

The main project underway is the raising of the roof in the Dining Hall.   This preparatory work to the dining facility is to allow a mezzanine level to be put in which will accommodate a third more girls in due course.   The work will be complete before the beginning of the autumn term, and work will commence on the dining hall itself in Easter 2011. 

The work has uncovered the original external wall of Landor House - not seen for some considerable time.   The building itself was built just before the Great Fire of Warwick in 1692-93 and was the birthplace of Walter Savage Landor, born in 1775.

The original external wall of Landor House

Year 13s, together with parents and teachers, were able to enjoy a final dinner together at King’s High School on Thursday 8 July. Mrs Surber welcomed the girls and everyone gathered on Red Lawn for drinks before they entered the Hall which was colourfully decorated in an “Under the Sea” theme. The evening was a chance for pupils to reminisce about their time at King’s High and the evening was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

The annual “Speech Day” is one of the most important events in the King’s High School calendar. Pupils, parents, friends, teachers and Governors gather to celebrate the success of the previous school year and to congratulate the girls who have won individual prizes and awards. This year the event was held in a Marquee in the grounds of Warwick School on Thursday 8 July and our distinguished Guest Speaker was Professor Anne Glover, Chief Scientific Advisor for Scotland.
