As part of your experience at King Edward VI School, we would like students to join one or<br />
more of our many clubs, societies or teams. There are a wide range of activities to get involved<br />
in. We know from our current and former students that being involved has been the feature<br />
which has made their life at King Edward VI special and builds friendships, self-confidence<br />
and self-esteem.<br />
If there is an activity they like the look of but need more information about, then ask<br />
someone about it. Whatever they decide, the best time to get involved is straight away, so<br />
they can settle in, make new friends and enjoy developing skills and confidence further.<br />
Tutors and mentors will talk things through with Year 7 students. As with everything, all they<br />
need to do is ask. If there is a club they would like to get started, talk to the Tutor or Head of<br />
Year or teacher about getting it set up.<br />
