King’s Week 2025

Welcome

Welcome back to an even bigger King’s Week this year! As well as the old favourites, we have a broad range of new events, such as Shell Oracy, Esports Competition, Bar Tapas y Más, Ready Steady Cook, a commercial Comedy Show and, to showcase some of the highlights of the Week, the slightly reimagined event The Encore.

As ever, we are keen for you to get involved as well. Please do feel free to bring your family and friends and participate where you can. Perhaps you would like to bring your classic car to Birley’s, play in the tennis or badminton tournaments, enter a cake in the Bake Off or (in a new idea for this year) join the staff and parents’ scratch ceilidh band on Saturday morning. Please use the email addresses on the event pages to get involved in these.

I encourage you to spend some time considering your environmental impact this year. Please do bring your own water bottle for refill (there is a machine just off Green Court) and note the new bins process around the site to ensure our food waste is separated and we are compliant.

I am hugely indebted to my pupil creative assistant, Toby, and to an unmentionably large number of other people who have organised events or helped behind the scenes. As last year, every 5^th to 6a is involved in running the week in some capacity.

Thank you so much for supporting King’s Week 2025. We look forward to seeing you!
