Open Doors Project

Every summer, King's welcomes a large number of pupils from partnership schools on to its campus for an exciting programme of arts workshops and games run by pupils from King's two of our partner schools.

Each child on the arts programme enjoys a day of art, music drama or movement linked to one of the four themes, all of which are brought together in an ambitious show in the school theatre on the final day.

children on the sports scheme experience a rota of swimming, tennis, tag-rugby, rounders, hockey and football, which reaches a climax at a tournament on our playing fields.

 

Aims

To provide a focus and a showcase for the creative projects engaged in by King’s pupils and their counterparts in local schools.
