In the school’s words
Throughout the morning, children will have the opportunity to meet and make new friends within their year group, while also enjoying and exploring the wonderful facilities at King Edward's School. A hot snack and drink will be provided. During the morning the children will take part in three exciting workshops . Each child should select five different activities which interest them from the Taster Morning registration form, selecting from the list below. We will then ensure they do three of their chosen five. This approach helps ensure a varied and enjoyable programme for everyone.
