This short film captures a pivotal moment in our journey at King Edward`s Witley—achieving the Eco-Schools Green Flag with Distinction.

More than a badge, this recognition marked a shift. It catalysed the founding of the City of London Youth Natural Environment Board (YNEB)—a bold, youth-led platform for driving environmental governance from the ground up.

In collaboration with Mr Simon Lightman, Sustainability Lead, we are especially proud of the leadership shown by Jacob Sprake and Olivier Hinds, whose clarity of vision and commitment to systems change continue to inspire. Their work has helped shape YNEB into a space where young people are not just heard—but empowered to act, challenge, and lead.

At King Edward`s we’ve committed to going beyond symbolic sustainability. This film reflects that—showcasing how a school community, when trusted and energised, can spark something far greater than itself.

⭐️ “There are NO LIMITS”⭐️

“I wanted to say thank you for the opportunity for our children to explore the world of work. There are so many roles that didn’t exist when a good number of parents left school. It makes it hard for us to help guide. Meanwhile, traditional jobs are still invaluable but not always considered.

My daughter is a police cadet and from the experience is now determined to go to university to study Criminology, with the ambition of joining the force.

Her ballet shoes sit alongside her police boots, reminding us that there are no limits”. 

Kind words from a parent to our Careers and Higher Education team following our recent careers networking event. We endeavour to support pupils to make fully informed decisions as they prepare to fly.
