KHS Friends Association held their first Summer Fayre for many years at the Lower School… it was a well attended event, with many students, families and staff members helping out on the day to set up, run stalls and clear up. Parents/families arrived with delicious international food and drink to sell, students made a huge effort in making wonderful friendship bracelets, offering facepainting and baked cakes/biscuits to sell on the day – well done to all for their amazing efforts and support. The Tombola stall was particularly popular on the day! thanks to Teresa Keating for running this stall and to the Holy Innocents Church, Kingsbury for lending us their Tombola Drum again.
This event was proudly sponsored by Winkworth Estates Kingsbury, who also kindly donated a Kindle E-Reader as top raffle prize on the day. Other fantastic raffle prizes were also generously donated by parents, staff and the following local businesses;
Mayfair Sports, Pro Soccer Coaching, Kleen Canteen Water Bottles, Explore Learning, Andreea from Glamsee and the Pied Piper Newsagent (Kingsbury). Asda Wembley have also offered raffle prizes for the next KHS event!
On the day, a 5 a-side football league tournament was also brilliantly run by local club Harrow Stars FC who reported that the standard on show was very good and everyone played in the spirit. The U7’s tournament was won by Wikanda Forever, who remained unbeaten throughout the whole tournament playing 6, winning 5 and drawing 1, a special mention to Kayden DaSilva who we selected as the standout player in the U7 category. The mixed age group category was won by Insert Name FC, they also remained unbeaten throughout the tournament, playing 6, winning 6, a special mention for Richardo Rus who we selected as the standout player in the mixed age group category. Top scorer over over both age groups was won by Denis from Insert Name FC who managed to bag himself 13 goals over the course of the day and walk away with the top goal scorer trophy.
Harrow Stars FC would like to extend an offer to all KHS students wishing to play regular football to come and train with them.

The event raised nearly £700 in total – a great achievement! As well as raising funds for the school, these events are also about bringing communities together and building relationships with families and local communities.
Special thanks to support staff and teaching staff who gave their time and support on the day. These events could not take place without the continued support and efforts of staff, students and families. The KHS Friends Association continues to grow, however we always welcome new members!
