100 acres of opportunity for everyone
We’re a small and resourceful independent boarding and day school for girls and boys aged 11 to 18. Our 100-acre campus inspires curiosity, invites exploration and prompts discovery. The breadth of opportunity on this lively site gives every pupil the means to discover the best version of themselves. At King Edward’s there is something for everyone.
It’s been that way for the best part of 500 years, ever since a young King Edward VI donated his Bridewell Palace for the training and education of the poor. That act of generosity and inclusiveness resonates down the years. It inspired a pioneering approach to education and our unifying sense of shared endeavour.
Happy, confident adults start here
More than anything, this beautiful School is a place of learning and laughter. There is so much warmth and support because we treat each other well. Here, young people learn how to be happy, confident adults.
