KES PARENTS
KES Parents play an important role in the life of King Edward’s School.
As a group of parent volunteers, our aim is to help build a strong and vibrant parent community for KES, so that all parents and their children can meet, have fun and raise funds at a variety of social events throughout the year.
FOCUSED AIMS
We aim:
- to help build a vibrant KES community for both parents and children
- to organise social events for all parents
- to raise funds to help improve facilities for our children
WELCOMING PARENTS
KES Parents attend welcome events and organise coffee mornings at the start of each school year, with the aim of welcoming parents at the start of the new academic year. If you see us at an event, please do say hello - we are very friendly and would love to meet you!
We also coordinate a very active ‘New to Bath’ programme, which includes a New to Bath Picnic at the Bathampton Playing Fields, held in September. Volunteers also help out at Open Day events, sharing their KES experiences with prospective parents.
If you would like to find out more or get involved with KES Parents, please contact Cheryl.

| ACTIVE FUNDRAISERS |
| Every year, KES Parents’ social events raise a significant amount of money for all three schools, which directly supports and improves facilities for our children. Each school submits a formal request to the KES Parents team, who subsequently review the bids and allocate funds towards ongoing school projects, enhancing facilities and/or purchasing additional classroom/outdoor equipment. KES Parents have raised a huge amount of money over the past years, to support many initiatives across the three schools, including a range of sensory equipment at the Pre-Prep, Geodesic Dome kits for Junior DT, a new piano for the Senior School Music department, a VEO camera and kit for PE, funds to support the Year 11 and 13 Proms and funds to enhance the social and outdoor facilities of the Wessex courtyard.
