We are thrilled to share that International SeaKeepers Society UK have launched the International Junior SeaKeepers Programme (IJSK) with ten pupils and nine dedicated educators from King Edward’s Witley.
We enjoyed an excellent initial session with our pupils sharing their passions, interests and aspirations, followed by the SeaKeepers representatives sharing more information about the programme, highlighting the international communication, networking opportunities and professional development workshops that are available throughout this inaugural initiative.
The IJSK programme invites the pupils to create a Science Communication project to share a chosen aspect of marine research or ocean conservation with both local and international audiences.
We are very excited to see our KESW Junior Seakeepers grow throughout the programme and become future ocean stewards.
Global citizenship begins in Bridewell Schools, for the betterment of all.

🎭 Shakespeare and Cake! 🍰
Rehearsals are underway and we are poised to enjoy a fabulous Queen Mary House (Lower School) open air performance celebration of Shakespeare’s finest on the Head’s lawn next week.
Just one part of an activity week packed with fun and creativity, our year 7 and 8 pupils will spend a day baking delicious treats, diving into a stage combat workshop, and rehearsing for their very own Shakespeare Shorts performances. Every member of QMH will take to the stage for this joyful & delicious event.
A big old dollop of Cake & Culture… well, what’s not to love?!

Sports Day 2025 was nothing short of spectacular—brought our school community together for a full afternoon of energy, competition, and unforgettable spirit. Pupils from across the year groups took to the fields in full house colours, cheered on by peers, staff, and led with pride by their Housemasters.
From sprint finishes to high jumps, it was a day packed with healthy competition, camaraderie, laughter—and of course, ice creams in the sun.
At King Edward’s, we champion resilience, belonging, and the courage to try—values that shone through in every event and every pupil who stepped onto the track. This is what strength of character looks like, and we couldn’t be prouder.
