Con­grat­u­la­tions to our Year 10 stu­dents (Kizzie Mab­ber­ley, Lois God­frey, Shan­non Har­man, Cameron Har­ris, Lilia Thomson-​Amato) for win­ning the ‘Best Mar­ket­ing Prize’ in the annual county Busi­ness of Enter­prise Com­pe­ti­tion 2020. Prizes include signed cer­tifi­cates, £50 Ama­zon voucher for each stu­dent and a tro­phy for the school.

Com­ments from the winners:

Our idea was called ‘Reliance Watch’. We first thought of our idea and how we would make the mate­ri­als, develop the mar­ket­ing and cal­cu­late prices. Shan­non and Cameron drew and designed the watch. Since this watch is for the deaf and blind we decided to con­tact the KAB (Kent Asso­ci­a­tion for the Blind) to see what they thought of the idea and they loved it and wanted us to present it to them. This watch is made to help the deaf and blind through­out day to day life and it has a rounded tri­an­gle shape to stand out to make it unique. To show it to EBP (East Kent Busi­ness Part­ner­ship) we decided to make a pre­sen­ta­tion. We had to present it (back in Feb­ru­ary) in the school hall in front of our whole year group and 4 judges from EBP. We were selected as the run­ners up from our school and our busi­ness idea was entered into the County com­pe­ti­tion against all the other schools in the area. To improve our pre­sen­ta­tion, dur­ing lock­down, we made a short video explain­ing our ideas and pre­sen­ta­tion fur­ther. We feel very excited, over­whelmed and grate­ful that we won the ‘Best Mar­ket­ing’ prize and we are happy that we got the oppor­tu­nity to take part in this competition.

In order to sup­port Year 11 through their GCSEs, we would usu­ally hold a rais­ing achieve­ment meet­ing (RAM) for par­ents and students.

Unfor­tu­nately we are unable to do that this year, but we have cre­ated a google site with all of the infor­ma­tion you would nor­mally get at this meeting.

There is sub­ject infor­ma­tion for core sub­jects, as well as revi­sion strate­gies and well being tips for our Year 11s. Please see the link below for all of this infor­ma­tion, and please get in touch if you have any ques­tions at all.

We are so dis­ap­pointed that we can’t wel­come Year 6 pupils and par­ents into school this year, to show off every­thing we do here as we usu­ally would on a tra­di­tional open evening.

How­ever, our staff and stu­dents have been hard at work cre­at­ing some great videos to allow you to see every­thing that KES has to offer, but virtually!

There’s a tour of the school, chats with cur­rent and past stu­dents, mes­sages from the staff, sub­ject infor­ma­tion, every­thing you could want to see. Please click the link below to see all of these amaz­ing videos!
