FEBRUARY HOLIDAY


KGS will be closed to pupils for the February mid-term break from Wednesday 12th until Monday 17th February. We open again for pupils on Tuesday 18th February. 

BA' WRITING COMPETITION
​Calling all Ba' players, supporters, enthusiasts, and even sceptics - can you write about the Ba' and what it means to you? Entries can take any form - short story, personal experience, poem, match report, player profile, or anything else... The only rules are: it needs to be under 1500 words, and it must be inspired in some way by the Ba'. Entries will be judged by the Ba' Committee and the editor of the Ba' Magazine. Prizes for the top three entries, with the winning entry being published in next year's Ba' Magazine. Entries to be in by Friday 20th March. See Mrs Spence if you'd like more information.
