Class of 2026 Celebrate in Style at Sixth Form Ball

Jul 3 2026

Our Class of 2026 celebrated the end of exams and their time at King's Sixth Form at their Ball last weekend.

Gathering in style, looking incredible in their formal dress, Year 13s enjoyed an evening at nearby Hilltop House, dinner, drinks and dancing.

King's staff celebrated the students' hard work and contribution to King's school life, reminiscing and making memories together.

Miss Jestin, Principal of Sixth Form, congratulated the Class of 2026. She said: "What an incredible year group we celebrated at Hilltop. They have been a pleasure to teach and mentor, and to watch develop into true student leaders. We wish them all the best for their next steps in further education, apprenticeships and travels and we look forward to welcoming them back to share their experiences with us."
