Mid-Summer Report
Dear KHS families,
What a week it has been! We have hosted our KHS Summer School and supported
our Year 13 and Year 11 students as they have collected their A Level, vocational
and GCSE results.
With so much going on around the school, we wanted to send a short newsletter to
all of our KHS families to share some of the highlights.
Above all, I hope that your son/daughter is enjoying their summer holiday and we
very much look forward to seeing all students back in September. On the final page of this newsletter, you will
find a reminder of our key dates for our return to school.

Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support.

SUMMER SCHOOL SUCCESS
We welcomed 150 of our new Year 7s to our KHS Summer School this week.
Having missed out on the traditional secondary school induction as a result of
COVID-19, our summer school has provided a wonderful opportunity for our
new year group to adapt to their new school environment. Students have en-
joyed an array of activities, including:
Cookery—with students making shepherds pie, Eton mess, shortbread
and pizza throughout the week.
Science—students were taught about healthy hearts and how to save a
life using CPR.
Sports—activities included badminton, cricket, basketball, football and
handball.
Chelsea FC—Chelsea FC coaches ran two football training sessions.
Motorbikes—students had the opportunity to learn about the servicing and maintenance of motorbikes
There were also a number of sessions, introducing students to secondary school subjects, including Maths, Geography, Read-
ing and Writing and RE. We also used this opportunity to assess students previous learning through some online assess-
ments in our computer rooms. We also hosted a mini-Summer School for some of our Year 10 students, who also participat-
ed in some of the activities above, as well as additional English and Maths and sessions in our school gym.
It was wonderful to see students making the most of this additional time in school. For our Year 7s, they will always remem-
ber some of their first experiences at KHS, and some of the lasting friendships that have been forged over the past week.
A big thank you to Mr Flanagan, Assistant Headteacher, for organising the week and a big thank you to the KHS staff mem-
bers who volunteers to support students in each activity. See page 2 for pictures of the week!
STRONG DESTINATIONS SECURED FOR YEAR 13 STUDENTS
Year 13 students at King Henry School are once again celebrating the start of their journeys towards a variety of prestigious,

tions at King Henry School, with the overall pass mark increasing by 7% compared to 2020.
Due to their impressive outcomes, students are celebrating offers from universities within the Russell Group as well as higher

ing for and gaining places to study science and medicine. These strong increases across the board recognise students’ resili-
ence and hard work over the past year. They are a testament to the dedication and skill of all King Henry staff.

YEAR 11 STUDENTS CELEBRATE GCSE RESULTS
We are also celebrating the achievements of our Year 11 students following the publication of the GCSE results. For a cohort
who have had both Key Stage 4 years disrupted by COVID, we have been humbled by their courage, determination and dedi-
cation – values which are reflected in the grades they have achieved.
The overall results awarded by exam boards highlight strong increases in the overall pass mark for GCSE qualifications at King
Henry School, with the overall attainment score at the highest for the past five years.
The number of students passing English at a Grade 4 or above has risen by 5% compared to 2019 and by 6% in Maths. We are
also delighted to report that the number of students enrolling into our KHS Sixth Form has increased by a phenomenal 20%
since last September – we are really looking forward to welcoming back so many students into our Sixth Form in September!
The Year 11 achievements within this context is remarkable and is testament to the hard work of the students over the past
two years and the dedication and skill of all King Henry staff.
