T
he Development Office exists to
help the school maintain its
standards of excellence by
encouraging strong school relationships
and support from alumni, friends, parents
and pupils. We are very grateful to the
many King's supporters who have made a
difference to the school this year through
sponsorship, scholarship endowments,
supporting the Horizon lecture series, or
by giving their time and skills to help our
pupils.
The Business / Careers Network has been
set up by the Development Office to help
recent leavers and young OAs with their
career choices, as well as providing
networking opportunities for those in
established careers, and advice for those
looking to change careers. The network
is available to any member of the King's
community looking for careers
information, networking and advice.
Recent success includes work experience
for pupils and jobs for OAs.
