110 former KES students lost their lives during the Second World War. You can read about their stories here: sheffieldwarmemorials.weebly.com/king-edward-vi… There will be a number of events in School to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day.

It was a moment of great relief and celebration across Europe, especially in the UK, where people filled the streets with joy and hope for a peaceful future. VE Day reminds us of the sacrifices made during the war and the importance of peace and unity.

VE Day, or Victory in Europe Day, is commemorated on 8th May to mark the end of World War II in Europe in 1945. On this day, Allied forces accepted the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany, bringing years of conflict on the European continent to a close.

Huge congratulations to Sharifah and Eleonore on gaining places in the National Youth Theatre! Both have made incredible contributions to our School productions over the past few years and the Drama Department is bursting with pride at this amazing achievement! 👏

KES hosted the Y7 Sheffield Schools' Netball Tournament on Thursday. The KES A team performed brilliantly throughout, winning all of their matches to reach the final with Sheffield Girls' High School. A closely contested game with KES going into half-time 2 goals ahead👏
