Earlier this week, our Year 6 children enjoyed an engaging online lesson with @renishawplc, where the children used software to create 3-D models, which will then be printed at the Renishaw factory. #DiscoveringKingsCreativity #STEM

Year 8 pupil Jack has built the most amazing model of the city of Pompeii, including the amphitheatre, the harbour and Vesuvius with an ash cloud - it's creative, original and so well designed - we love it! Fantastic work Jack! #KSGatHome

Christian, a Year 11 pupil, has produced some #time-lapse videos of work he has completed during #lockdown - needless to say he is planning to do Fine Art A Level. It's mesmerising to watch this talented artist at work! #KSGatHome

We are very proud of Yr 6 pupil Magee who is making face visors for @NHSuk staff using a 3D printer. There are very specific production conditions, but Magee has risen to the challenge. A fabulous effort Magee! #madebykings #KingsSchoolCommunity #PPEforNHS @ISC_schools @HMC_Org

Need some motivation to be active? Take a leaf out of the awesome @captaintommoore’s book! Neither age, cancer, or a hip replacement have hindered him on his bid to raise money for the NHS, which now stands at 9 million! #walkwithtom #TomorrowWillBeAGoodDay #inspirational
