4 Days until the end of term! The King's CCF went on camp today, and will return at the end of the week. Also, why not place bets in the forum on who will win King's Founders Day tomorrow?

King's and Grantham Church School have finally received the 'Business and Enterprise College' status! It was internally announced today, and the schools will be receiving substantial amounts of money due to the new status. As you may have seen the school has just got 90 brand new computers. Maybe this will give King's Technology College status too! With the newly received status it looks very likely that the petrol station site will be built on in the near future.

1^st July 2003

Good luck to all those who will be doing exams next week! If you need help revising for things why not try BBC Bitesize revision. Even if you aren't doing your SATs, GCSEs, AS Levels or A Levels this year you will still find it useful to revise from!

20^th June 2003

Teachers leaving KG at the end of the year are thought to be: Dr. Simpson, Miss Wittion, Miss Edwards and Ms. Loj. If there are any more teachers leaving, please post their names in the forum thread on teachers leaving KG so I can put it up on the site.

I have now changed the forum so you must be an active member (2 posts or above) to access the general section. This is to get more posts and news into the King's and KG sections. If you can't see the General section anymore it is because you are an inactive member. You must post more to see this section.

Apologies about the forum! It seems to be very bad at the moment. I will see about upgrading to a different forum.

So the King's Petrol station fence was destroyed again earlier this week, although it has now been mended again. What do you think the school should consider making the petrol station into? How safe do you think the temporary fencing is? Post comments in the forum.

Mr. Ferguson from King's will be doing an exchange with a teacher from New Zealand, so he will not be leaving King's at the end of this school year. Instead, however, he will be teaching in New Zealand for a year, and King's will have a teacher from New Zealand to teach PE at King's.

24^th May 2003

Half Term has finished! I hope you all have a very enjoyable half term. Keep Checking back, as although it's half term, we will still keep you informed with any new news from King's or KG!

23^rd May 2003

Mr. Ferguson, head of Lower school and PE teacher from King's will also be leaving at the end of this school year. 9 teachers leaving. And counting...

21^st May 2003

News of KG's muck up day has just been received! Maggots were put in the food collection bit of the Vending Machines. Please post the details of other pranks in the forum.

Teachers leaving KG at the end of this school year include Dr. Simpson, but I am not quite sure who else is leaving. Please can someone (anyone) give me more information on who is leaving KG?

20^th May 2003

17^th May 2003

The mess up day at King's yesterday wasn't very good. Hardly any pranks and all the teachers getting, shall we say, a little 'annoyed' by the rain. Shorruck shouldn't have confiscated all of the footballs - it's a bloke school and taking away the one thing we still are allowed to do of the male instinct didn't seem that fair...

17^th May 2003

King's will be re-inspected by Ms. Barkley on Friday the 16th May (this coming Friday). The Headmaster insists everyone should be on best behavior.

12^th May 2003

The forum is currently being a bit dodgey, so if you get an error whilst on it wait for about half a minute then try again! Also, if you forget your password e-Mail me and I will e-Mail you back with a new password, that you can then change to your desired one.

11^th May 2003

KG's non-uniform day due to be held on the 9th of May has been cancelled! People were told about it at the beginning of the week. Place your comments about this in the forum.

8^th May 2003

Kings is re-submitting the joint entry with Grantham Church School for a Business and Enterprise College Status. The last submission was turned down, and as a result of the resubmission there will be inspectors in school on one of the coming Fridays, I will try and find out the date. The senior management have requested that all pupils should be dressed nealy and be well mannered for the inspection.

Investigation into what goes into an application for the status revealed that a one hundred page document has to be created about the applying school. Getting the status would allow the school to have extra funds, which would hopefully see the Petrol Station built on.

KG is Getting a new uniform! It was officially announced a couple of weeks ago that KG pupils will have the choice of a new uniform from this September. The uniform will be introduced optionally from this September until 2005, when it will be made necessary.

Deputy head, Mr. Reading from King's is leaving to become headmaster at Carre's Grammar School. Also leaving King's at the end of this year is Mr. Gumpert, Mr. Kirkby, Dr. Everett and Mrs Hutchinson. If any more teachers are likely to be leaving we will keep you informed. Mr. Gumpert leaving to go to another school, Mrs Hutchinson will most likely carry on teaching, but in another school and it is thought that Mr. Kirkby and Dr. Everett will both retire.
