Helen Sharman - Foundation Day Guest of Honour

As the end of another school year draws to a close, we are looking forward to our first King's School Foundation Day on Thursday 13th July.

We are delighted to welcome Helen Sharman, CMG, OBE as our Guest of Honour on Foundation Day. In 1991, aged just 27, Helen became the first British Astronaut, spending 8 days orbiting the Earth on the International Space Station.

Since returning to Earth, Helen has become one of our country’s best-known experts in fields such as STEM, space exploration and teamwork. She has written two books, taken part in numerous shows on TV and radio, and she currently hosts the fascinating Zero Pressure podcast.

Helen will speak about her achievements, but she will mainly focus on how we can all aspire to play our individual part in a more sustainable world and a global community, providing insight and inspiration to pupils and adults alike, on our first Foundation Day.
