Disabled Parking Bays
It is essential that disabled parking bays at KHS are available at all times to those families and young people who need to use them.
Unless you have a Blue Badge – and this is displayed on your car – please do not park in the disabled parking bays or block access to them at any time.

School Photographs
The Photographer will be in school on Wednesday 30th August to take photos of all S1, S4 and S6 pupils. Full school dress must be worn.
Well done S1!
A huge well done – and thank you – to our new S1 students who have made such a positive start to their time at KHS. They all look so smart in their uniforms and staff have commented on their politeness and enthusiasm for learning.
Fun Learning in the Science Lab
Now they’ve had a few days to acclimatise to high school, we thought we would show you how amazingly our S1 have settled in. Here we see numeracy in action with practical applications of their learning. Plenty more amazingness to share in the coming days and weeks! #pridekhs
Giving Back to our Local Community
We are always proud to see our young people give back to our local community, so it was fantastic to hear this evening that a number of our senior pupils have now qualified to referee rugby matches in the Junior school. They will have lots of opportunities to practice their new skills throughout the season in the up and coming Borders Conference fixtures. Well done to all involved for showcasing our school values of Participation, Respect, Included, Determination and Excellence. We look forward to hearing about how you get on! #pridekhs
Swimming Success
Congratulations to Hamish Coates, Jessie Norris, Bronwen Payne and Jasper Harrison who took part in an invitation only event in Aberdeen during the summer break. Brilliant results galore and personal bests broken too! Well done all! #pridekhs
