Support KESWBridewell Royal Hospital
The Bridewell Royal Hospital, incorporating King Edward’s Witley, and is a registered Charity, No. 311997.
The Bridewell Royal Hospital takes its name from Bridewell Palace. In 1553 Nicholas Ridley, Bishop of London, convinced the boy King Edward VI to grant his palace at Bridewell to the Lord Mayor of London as a place for the training and education of poor children.
In 1867 King Edward’s moved out to Witley. Our City links,which have continued for over four centuries, have guaranteed the vision of Nicholas Ridley and King Edward VI lives on to allow young pwoplw, from a wide range of backgrounds, to thrive in a supportive school community. These children can grow and learn in a wonderful learning environment of care, challenge and opportunity, once set up they can go on to achieve everything in life of which they are capable. We live and study alongside pupils from all walks of life and corners of the world.
Bridewell Royal Hospital’s purpose is to raise money to enable our Founder’s vision to continue.
In addition to financing our Foundation pupils – called “Foundationers” – the Foundation looks to raise money to improve and extend facilities and purchase educational resources that enable the school to deliver a safe and wonderful educational environment for today and the future.
Bridewell Royal Hospital is grateful to Old Witleians, parents, staff, City Livery Companies, Charitable Trusts and corporations for their ongoing financial support, which enables us to provide bursary places and enhance our facilities and enrich the education our pupils enjoy today and in the future.
