Kingswood adventure 2014

An update from Mr Mayer on the recent Kingswood Adventure

On Friday 28th March 18 learners from year 7 and 8 took part in the latest Kingswood adventure. It was a great success and as the photographs illustrate, we had a very busy and fun weekend.  As usual the learners from Kepier did themselves, the school and their teachers proud.  All the Kingswood staff commented on how lovely they were.
Thank you to all involved with the trip especially Miss Foster.

I'm already looking forward to next year!

Youngster In Need





As part of Kepiers ongoing commitment to raise funds for a variety of good causes, both locally and nationally, a variety of events were organised in the run up to Christmas 2013 to raise money for both Children in Need and Save the Children. These included learners and staff paying £1 to wear a onesie or Christmas jumper for the day; learners and staff baking cakes at home which were then sold in school; and a 'man v food' competition for both staff and learners which took place in our main hall, with those taking part having to see how many dry crackers, jam donuts or pies they could eat in two minutes.
 
Phill Turton, Guidance teacher and Charity Coordinator for Kepier said, "I am always overwhelmed by the enthusiasm and commitment shown by the young people at Kepier when we ask them to support these events. They do not just take part, but will come up with their own ideas of how to raise more money. A big thank you to all of them, and all our staff who supported and contributed towards raising this fantastic amount".
 
The total amount raised, which will go to Children in Need and Save the Children, was £1722.05.
