Emma PikeDirector of Junior School Activities
At the Junior School, every day is exciting, full of adventure and happy. We work hard, are busy and active with new initiatives, support one another, and provide new opportunities for the children. My thoughts and ideas are valued, and I have been given the opportunity to grow as a learner, a teacher and as a person. |

Darren WillisonArt Teacher
KES is in the heart of the city and has a beat like no other! I have been teaching here for 24 years and the joy of the school is the pupils who make it a school and the teachers who nurture to help the seeds to grow. We are a community and dare I say it a family, even when the children leave us to explore their individual adventures, they still continue to share their lives and stories with us. |

KES’s strong and longstanding reputation is what attracted me to come and work here as well as the nature of the role and attractive package being advertised. The welcome I received was overwhelmingly friendly with a thorough induction process. In addition, my line manager is very supportive and has an excellent understanding of my role. Knowing this allows me the freedom to perform at the best of my abilities. |

Arthur RousellJunior School Boys Games/Specialist Sports Coach
I was attracted to KES because it is a thriving school and I believed I could make a lasting impact. I have been able to shape the Junior School Games and PE program positively and contribute new ideas. The `tight knit’ nature of the Junior School was a huge draw, allowing myself and other new starters an easy avenue to settling in and feeling like we matter. I feel happy knowing I will continue to work here for years to come. |
