Blue Coat Day 2026

Last Friday, The King’s Hospital School came alive with colour and community spirit as it celebrated its much-anticipated annual Blue Coat Day. Blessed with beautiful sunshine, the campus buzzed with laughter, energy and creativity throughout the afternoon.

Students, staff and families enjoyed a wide range of activities, from vibrant face painting and lively open mic performances to tag rugby matches, tennis games and a tempting selection of sweet treats. Every corner of the school reflected the joy and togetherness that make this day so special each year.

Beyond the festivities, Blue Coat Day also carried a powerful purpose. This year, the event proudly supported the Scholarships for Gaza Initiative, helping to create meaningful educational opportunities for students in need.

A sincere thank you to everyone who donated, participated and helped organise the day. Your generosity and enthusiasm made it not only a memorable celebration, but a truly impactful one.
