Junior King’s enjoyed a lively and successful week filled with music, sport, scholarship preparation, and admissions activity. The Senior Musicians’ Concert took place on Monday evening, where pupils delivered confident instrumental and vocal performances. The Informal Concert followed on Thursday and gave younger musicians valuable experience performing to an audience. During the week, the Interim Head held mock interviews with Drama and Music scholarship candidates where pupils spoke clearly and confidently about their interests and ambitions. Their enthusiasm reflected strong preparation ahead of next week’s scholarship auditions.
On Tuesday, Junior King’s welcomed many prospective Year 7 pupils with a varied and engaging programme organised by the Admissions team. Pupils completed assessments and took part in practical science activities as well as problem‑solving tasks.
Sport remained a highlight despite challenging weather conditions. The Foster Cup 7‑a‑side Rugby Festival took place on Wednesday afternoon and produced competitive matches throughout with Duke of York’s securing a narrow win over Junior King’s in the final. The U10 boys competed well in a triangular festival against Ashford and King’s Rochester. Girls’ teams also played fixtures against King’s Rochester and showed resilience, teamwork, and strong encouragement in difficult conditions.
Community links featured strongly later in the week when Junior King’s welcomed The King’s School Canterbury Purples and former pupils for the Prefects’ Dinner. Many returned for the first time since Year 8 and shared memories and advice with current prefects. Eight pupils received special recognition after starting their education in Nursery and preparing to finish at King’s this year.
