Digital Leaders
On Tuesday 26th January 2016,
Year 3 had the fantastic
opportunity to take part in a Saint
Lucian-inspired Music and Dance
Workshop! The whole school
thoroughly enjoyed Jim's
performance in assembly before
the Year 3's split into their
workshops for the day.
A team of 8 girls from Ken Prep
joined nearly 200 other girls from
GDST schools around the
country for the GDST Digital
Leaders Conference held at
South Hampstead High
School. Girls were challenged to
devise a campaign to encourage
more women to pursue careers
in technology – only 17% of
digital jobs are undertaken by
women according a recent report
by Deloitte.
Forthcoming performances
The Senior Choir will be performing at the Children’s trust
Concert on Sunday February 7, taking place at St. John’s
Smith Square.

Concert will commence at 2:00pm, concluding by 4:00pm.
