Bridewell AI - Future Proofing Every Pupil’s Education
We are proud to announce that we are embarking on an exciting journey to harness Artificial Intelligence, working with university partners, researchers and pioneering experts in this field to reimagine the role of technology in our approach to education and to empower Bridewell pupils with advanced skills to thrive and do good in our rapidly changing world.
Our advanced AI aims to provide an additional support framework in our teacher-led environments, to inspire fresh thinking and human creativity though which all pupils can innovate, adapt and apply critical thinking to support collaboration, learning pathways and academic excellence.
We’ve kicked off our journey with staff visits to our collaborators at Royal Holloway, and welcoming researchers from the University of Surrey`s Centre for Doctoral Training in AI for Digital Media Inclusion (CDT) to a working session with our year 7 pupils. We are working hand in hand with all our partners to ensure an inspiring experience and meaningful outcomes for all Bridewell pupils.
Bridewell Schools. Bright futures powered by human intelligence, empowered by AI.
Much more will follow around these innovative developments. In the meantime, to learn more about our brilliant development partners please select the link in our bio.

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.

An Animazing Day for 1st Formers at KESW! 💫
Our 1st Form pupils recently enjoyed an exciting visit from Animazing, an interactive educational experience that brings a variety of animals into the classroom.
The sessions supported the pupils’ curriculum learning in biology, building on their earlier work creating cell models. From owls and snakes to tortoises and frogs, the pupils were able to observe and even handle many fascinating creatures.
Ms Street, who organised the visit, shared:
“The pupils saw and touched a variety of animals ranging from a Barn Owl to a Pygmy Hedgehog to a Royal Python. There were many amazed reactions as they learnt how frogs absorb substances through their skin, the tremendous lifespan of Galapagos tortoises, and how global warming is affecting the birth rate of male crocodiles.”
We look forward to welcoming Animazing back to KESW in the future.

Adventure, Growth & Resilience 🧭
At King Edward’s Witley, we’re proud to support our pupils as they rise to challenges that build confidence, leadership, and independence.
Earlier this term, nine 5th Form pupils completed their Silver Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Qualifying Expedition in the South Downs, following their practice expedition in the New Forest last September.
Meanwhile, twelve Lower Sixth Form pupils undertook a three-day training expedition in the Peak District as part of their journey towards the Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. It was an unforgettable experience in resilience, with pupils demonstrating exceptional perseverance and collaboration.
