Yesterday we celebrated our Bridewell Admissions Day - a proud tradition where new pupils are formally admitted to the Bridewell Royal Hospital family.
It represents the beginning of a journey shaped by excellence in learning, community, and the shared values that connect our schools.
Whether joining Upper Prep at Barrow Hills, Queen Mary House at KESW, Sixth Form, or any of the year groups in between, we wish every pupil continued success and happiness in their time with us.
Welcome to Bridewell. #bridewellschools

We greatly enjoyed welcoming visiting students from @cognitaschools Chile in partnership with @ardmorelanguageschools this week. Our guests enjoyed a tour of our School, British history lessons and concluded their trip with lunch. Hope the rest of your time in the UK is fun, thanks for coming to see us!
In the past two weeks we have been delighted to welcome almost 400 children and parents representing over 30 local Prep and Primary Schools to enjoy our 11+ and 13+ Open Mornings. Bright and bustling events, the mornings included interactive taster sessions, tours of our 100 acre site and excellent facilities led by our brilliant pupils and plenty of opportunity for conversation and questions with our highly experienced staff and senior leadership team.
If you didn’t manage to come along, fear not! We would love to welcome you to join us for a personal tour and to experience first-hand what makes King Edward’s, it’s pupils and staff so special. You can book your tour by contacting our Admissions team admissions@kesw.org or via our website https://www.kesw.org/admissions/
Additionally, a broad range of early evening ‘Discover & Explore’ taster sessions for Year 6 and 7&8 will be running from Monday 3rd November - watch this space for further details!

Our Upper Sixth students recently attended the Royal Institution Youth Summit, contributing their perspectives on the future of space exploration. 🌌
They took part in discussions on ethics, regulation, and mental health in space - helping shape the direction of the 2025 Christmas Lectures.
“My favourite part was the talk about the space economy and how it is going to be something very important in the future.” Peter (U6)
