As everyone settles into school life, pupils reflect on their first week of the Christmas Term at King's.
"I have been looking forward to coming back to school and seeing all my friends. I have also been looking forward to focusing on my GCSE subjects. It will be great to do the subjects I’ve chosen." - 4th Form pupil
"I like that if you have any queries you can email a teacher and they will get back to you really quickly." - 3rd Form pupil
"Being back is great - I’m looking forward to the year ahead." - L6th Form pupil
"So far so good - I LOVE boarding! The Sixth Formers have been really nice and made us feel so welcome!" - 3rd Form pupil
"Everyone is so helpful and nice. I found my way easily to lessons with the help of others. I think it’s great that there are so many people around to talk to about anything. It’s only my first week, but I already feel happy and comfortable." - 3rd Form pupil
"After a great summer, I was very excited about coming back to school to see my friends and all the opportunities that the 6th Form offers." - L6th Form pupil
"I like that fact you can just get food!" - 3rd Form pupil
"Being back at school is definitely a change of pace from the holidays, but it won’t take long to get back into school life." - 5th Form pupil
"I like the independence and all the amazing opportunities on offer." - 3rd Form pupil
"I’ve only been here a few days, but this place seems like a community for everyone and in which everyone thrives." - L6th Form pupil
