31 July marked the end of the second term, and what a different one it had been! We thank our Kingsmead Community for the support and courage shown as we grappled and found our feet in this different version of ‘normal’. Thank you to our teachers and staff for all they have done in the last term to ensure teaching has taken place.

We wish you all a relaxing, happy and healthy break and we look forward to seeing you in spring!
