King Edward’s was founded as the Bridewell Royal Hospital by the “Boy King”, Edward VI, in 1553. The aim was to provide education for the City’s needy children and our Foundation still provides bursary assistance to a substantial proportion of our pupils, true to its founding purpose. We want every pupil to receive the best possible education at King Edward’s and, as Old Witleians, take with them the happiest of memories and lasting friendships into the future.
