Initiatives and Events
new year 7 information evening
On Thursday 26th June, some of the KPS team attended the New Year 7 Parents’ Information Evening, providing refreshments and talking to parents and carers about KPS activities and how they can become members. Welcome to new members and families.
The biggest hit was our Preloved Uniform shop, where we raised a phenomenal £1539. Whilst we thank new joiners for the interest and support, KPS would like to say a big thank you to Year 11 and 12 students and parents/carers for recent significant donations. We could only achieve the said fund raising with your generous donations.
