Kingswood School sponsored walk supports children's charity

The Kingswood community undertook its third charity walk on 5 May.

94 boarders, staff, residents on the campus, some accompanies with children and dogs, completed the two-hour walk with a stop for ice cream.

It was great to see so many of the members of the community together and they will have raised approximately £300 for the charity ‘Hope and Homes for Children’.

The boarders were treated to a BBQ in the evening and had a chance to wish good luck to the Sixth Form and Year 11 students for their exams. The pupils heard some outstanding and heartfelt speeches from the Upper Sixth Heads of Boarding and from Westwood House Captains.

Many photos were seen, awards were made and many stories were told about what goes on in the boarding houses. What was abundantly clear was the affection they have for

Kingswood and their boarding houses and the gratitude felt for the staff who look after them.

One final award was made with Lizzie awarded with the Wyvern Award.

The Wyvern Award, which is presented to pupils for outstanding service to the boarding community, has now been awarded to 26 members of the Kingswood community.
