What an incredible year of community and achievement it has been. Young leaders, inventors, creatives, entrepreneurs, designers and problem-solvers of the future, we are incredibly proud of the hard work, resilience, collegiality, kindness and growth you have demonstrated over the past year. Thank you all, and a huge thank you to our dedicated teachers and our whole school community for bringing the energy, commitment and creativity that makes our school so special.
A little snapshot of the year to reflect upon before the summer holidays begin.
Have a great break everybody.

So, we shared the pre-match build up … and now we are very proud to provide a round-up of a truly great day for our U15 boys football team and our whole School community at the ESFA National Cup Final at The Hawthorns.
An enormous thank you to everyone who supported our lads- whether vocal in the stands, watching live on YouTube, or lighting up the comments on our community group chats, your positivity and enthusiasm was incredible. Our huge thanks also to our three brilliant pupil pundits for their professionalism and great commentary.
To our dedicated @keswsport coaches who guided and supported these boys with strategy and heart before, during and after this competition - bravo.
And to this group of brilliantly talented, decent young men who had us all on the edge of our seats, gave it their all and played a terrific match; what sportsmanship to be so gracious, resilient and united as that final whistle blew. You should be incredibly proud.
All eyes on 2026… we’ll be ready. See you there. #esfa #playstationcup #kesw #keswsport #eyeson2026
A fantastic morning of team building for our Lower School (Queen Mary House) pupils to get stuck in to yesterday. A series of fun challenges that tested lots of important life skills: communication, planning, collaboration, innovative thinking, leadership and resilience under pressure.
Some great results. Together Everyone Achieves More!

🏄♀️ 🌊 Oh, we do like to be beside the sea side!
Our action packed Lower School activity week got off to a cracking start on Monday. A day filled with fun, collaboration, and stretch, our pupils took to the beaches of West Wittering for a good dollop of sun & surf with a side order of service!
The day included surfing, mega SUP, body boarding, beach volleyball and a beach clean up which the pupils undertook with great energy and positive spirits.

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.
