Read this year’s first edition of our History department’s journal ‘The Edwardian’, which included submissions from pupils in every year at King Edward’s, and has proved an extremely popular read for our community and beyond.
Join us for our Lower School (Year 7, 11+) Open Mornings: Friday 3rd October & Saturday 11th October from 10am to 12.30pm.

Proudly diverse and generous of spirit, we are a co-educational day and boarding school and community with a difference. We offer outstanding individualised learning and pastoral journeys which allow young people to thrive academically, socially and emotionally.

🦆💙 QMH Duck Hunt for Charlie’s Promise
Our Lower School pupils had a fantastic time taking part in the Rubber Duck Hunt earlier this month — organised in support of our School Charity, @charliespromisecharity.
Hidden ducks, big smiles, and brilliant teamwork… and thanks to your generosity, we raised over £100 through this fun-filled event!
This marks the final QMH fundraiser of the year, as we draw to a close on a powerful and meaningful partnership with Charlie’s Promise - a charity raising awareness of knife crime in memory of Charlie Cosser.

“Music has been the shining star here for years” – says the Good Schools Guide (Review 2025).
“On average, two choral or organ scholarships secured annually by talented musicians destined for universities, conservatoires or the Royal Academy of Music.”
The Countess of Munster Music School at King Edward’s provides over 5,000 individual lessons and concerts, competitions, UK and international tours and examinations. Our school has over twenty choirs, orchestras and bands… from intimate showcases to cathedral tours, our musicians shine on every stage.

Shakespeare and Cake was nothing short of fabulous! 🧁 Each and every Queen Mary House (Lower School) pupil lit up the QMH lawn with a brilliant open-air performance, bringing energy, drama and sweet cupcakes to the warm summer afternoon.
As part of a vibrant activity week, Year 7 and 8 pupils baked and decorated delicious cupcakes, took part in a stage combat workshop, and rehearsed their own Shakespeare Shorts before stepping into the spotlight to the great enjoyment and applause of an eager audience of family & friends.
The cupcakes were as delightful as the performances - a perfect blend creativity and culture.

🌊 We’re proud that King Edward’s Witley is the UK Chapter of the International Junior SeaKeepers Programme - a global initiative empowering young ocean advocates.
Our pupils have already taken part in inspiring sessions with experts like Stephen Hall from Seabed 2030, learning how ocean mapping supports marine conservation.
It’s an exciting journey that connects them with scientists worldwide and gives them the tools to make a real difference for our oceans.
Huge thanks to @seakeepers for partnering with us to bring this to life! 🌍💙
