Today marks the 75th year of our return to Witley, having left the school site for the war effort back in 1941. May 5th 1949, the boys from the Waterloo train arrived at the station, fell in on parade and, led by the Head, marched briskly up the Hill. The school and many of the houses round it were decked with bunting and flags and the school flag was raised on the Edward Tower. Enjoy some pictures of the school site in Hambledon, home for 8 years, and the welcome return back to KESW. #BridewellFamily...
