About Our School
Transforming and nurturing young lives for over 450 years, King Edward’s Witley is a vibrant and academically ambitious independent school offering co-educational boarding and day education for pupils aged 11 to 18.
A proudly diverse community with strong foundations rooted in kindness and mutual respect, we aim for pupils to flourish academically, socially and emotionally through varied and inspiring educational and pastoral journeys tailored to individual needs, strengths and personalities. Our heritage, rich in generosity of spirit, compassion and inclusiveness resonates in a thriving present where our pupils are aspirational but kind and unpretentious in nature.
Inspiring young leaders, inventors, creatives, entrepreneurs, designers and problem-solvers of the future, we provide an environment which empowers every child to grasp opportunities with both hands, to become highly motivated creative thinkers – agile and self-disciplined. Seeking to foster a lifelong love of learning, our approach supports pupils to develop confidence in exploring and shaping their personal interests, identity and principles. To find their passions, develop emotional connection and empathy, to be ambitious for themselves and for others, and to find that feeling of belonging and well being which can inspire us all to positively view, describe, interpret and interact with our broader world.
Over 470 First to Sixth Form pupils (year 7 to 13) from England and from over 30 other countries across the globe enjoy a home away from home within our 100-acre learning environment which inspires curiosity, ignites passions and prompts discovery; a perfect space for pupils to grow and shape their futures.
The world is not shrinking. We are growing into it and the journey of understanding and togetherness begins here in our supportive House system with gentle human connection, a spirit of exploration, and open hearts where all pupils from all backgrounds and geographies thrive and achieve together, greatly enriching the lives of our whole community.
