Our theme this year is inclusion and it was great to welcome so many passionate local professionals to collaborate on how we can best support students to access local opportunities and raise aspiration.

👔 Kingsway tie
🏃 PE shorts – 34"
🧥 PE hoodie – 38/40"
👕 PE T-shirt – 42/44"

As always, it's all completely FREE.
Collection or delivery offered.

If you have a child at Kingsway and any of these sizes would be useful, please get in touch. We'd love to get them to a family who can use them. 💜🧡🩵

At the beginning of the summer, I wrote to every young person in Altus with a simple message: whatever the year had brought, it was only one chapter, not the whole story.

As we prepare for another school year, I’ve recorded the letter to share more widely. Its message is a simple one: You matter. You belong. Your future is not yet written.
