There are a number of different clubs and societies each term which cover a range of interests. Pupils enjoy learning new skills and getting to know pupils from other year groups who share a similar interest.

All clubs have a member of staff involved but pupils often help in the organisation and running of the clubs which helps them to develop their leadership skills as well.

Each term a timetable of clubs and societies is included in the School calendar and there is a Societies Fair at the beginning of the Autumn term to give new pupils an opportunity of finding out more about the many opportunities that exist. In addition regular notices in assembly highlight termly trips such as walking expeditions and winter ski trips.

Lower School Drama Club is held every Thursday at 1pm in the Wroughton Theatre for Years 7 - 9. No experience necessary, just enthusiasm!

Pupils in Years 7 & 8 are being offered an exciting opportunity for this term to learn Chinese.

Chinese Club will start from Monday 26^th September 1 - 1.45pm. The club will be run by Suzie Yuan, a current KES parent with many years of experience teaching about the Chinese language (Mandarin), culture and history, and the aim of the club will be to explore these and other related areas in a stimulating and enjoyable way. This club ran last year for the first time and was very well received by those who attended. 

King Edward’s School has already established links with a number of schools in the Suzhou area of China and is a founder member of the Bath-Suzhou Educational Partnership. Colleagues from Suzhou and Bath schools have organised reciprocal visits, we currently have six Chinese students from Suzhou High School studying for their A-Levels in our sixth form and an inaugural trip to China for King Edward’s pupils is set to run this October half term.

With China set to become such a major economic, political and cultural force in the 21^st century, it will be important for our children to gain an understanding on many different fronts of this vast and fascinating country, and we hope that the Chinese Club will prove to be a valuable first step towards this.

Societies Fair takes place in early September every year.

The Fair is a chance for all pupils to find out more about all the many clubs and societies that are taking place.

If you enjoy discussing topical and philosophical issues, putting across your point of view or simply improving your general awareness why not come along to one of the weekly Socrates Club discussions.

Topics for discussion will be announced at whole school assembly each week.

If you would like to find out more please contact Socrates Club Organiser, Mr Wood.
