Dear KNES Secondary students and parents,

While the pandemic situation is evolving globally, we all have been affected in some way by COVID-19. This is a challenging time filled with uncertainty that requires adaptation for everyone. The Kuwait National English School is no different. 

Delivery method:

I would like to express my thanks to all of you for your support over the first term. KNES is currently preparing various scenarios and plans for the remainder of this academic year. Although we may not have all the answers at this time, please be assured that KNES is committed to ensuring the academic success of our students. Whether teaching and learning is classroom based, remote or a combination of both, the quality of learning at KNES will not change. KNES is ready to help students achieve their academic goals and provide students with a world-class British education. We will continue to take direction from the Ministry of Education to ensure the safety and health of all our students, staff and the wider community.

You have received three reports for your child already: The September, October, and November Monthly Reports. Furthermore, at the end of every week the Secondary staff produce a newsletter informing you of activities and curriculum matters. Weekly, Form Tutors present students with the following awards: Weekly Star, Outstanding Attendance, Best Achievement, Best Effort, Best House Points total and Global Citizenship award.
