Head’s welcome

Thank you for your interest in our school. King Edward’s community has a unique heritage and place among British co-educational independent schools; we aim to provide a transformative education and an excellent foundation for adult life to a widely diverse range of enthusiastic, curious and kind pupils. We are mindful to work hard to enable our pupils to be excellent learners, but also to equip and inspire them for their futures as kind and responsible leaders, inventors, entrepreneurs and employees.

Our educational provision dates back to our foundation in 1553 as part of the Bridewell Royal Hospital Foundation, and reaches far beyond the exciting and challenging academic curriculum and the broad range of opportunities in all areas of school life we offer – sporting, artistic, social and cultural.

With my colleagues and our parents, I aim for our school to inspire a love of independent learning and a wealth of lasting friendships, shared values and hopeful visions in a brilliant community of grounded, caring and compassionate pupils and staff.

I look forward to welcoming you to King Edward’s.

Mrs Joanna Wright
