Have to say I have been mightily impressed with all the updates from The Kings School with regard to the current flooding problems in Worcester City and the schools position on opening etc. Have received email and text messaging updates with their own information and links to relevant current local information. That, along with the school also updating their own website with relevant info has been extremely useful and helpful. Excellent, thank you and much appreciated :)
