ESF King George V School

Last week, we officially welcomed our incoming Year 6 students and their parents to the KGV family.

Our future students spent an exciting day touring the campus, diving into team-building activities, meeting their new tutors, and connecting with our amazing student leaders and volunteers. They even wrote letters to their future selves before wrapping up the day with some musical performances!

Swipe through to see the highlights of a fantastic day. We can't wait to see you all again in August!

It's that time of year again and we're so happy for our class of 2026 graduates! Here are a few photo highlights of the ceremony.

Celebrating Collaboration: ESF Impact Walk at KGV
We were thrilled to host an ESF Impact Walk at King George V School a few weeks ago! These sessions are a vital part of our Professional Development across the English Schools Foundation, where staff from different schools visit one another to observe classroom strategies and share best practices.

These "impact walks" allow us to observe innovative teaching methods in a live classroom environment. Share insights that enhance student learning outcomes across the foundation. Strengthen our community of educators to ensure KGV remains at the forefront of educational excellence. It was a fantastic experience hosting our colleagues and showcasing the incredible work happening in our classrooms. We look forward to more opportunities to learn and grow together as one ESF team!

Looks like its medals all around! Our spotlight this time is centered around our student-athletes competing all over, keep up the great work everyone!
