It is certainly a happy new year at King Edward's Witley with many exciting developments now underway. Our Exhibition Hall development includes a new Reception designed as a central place to meet, a Café, as a relaxing and dynamic working space and a Library for collaborative and independent study. The video below shows how this project has progressed over the past few months. Our thanks go to Ash Contracting and the whole team at King Edward's Witley who have worked so hard on this development so far. Work will begin soon on our Upper Sixth Form House designed as a stepping stone into University life. This will include areas to relax and study, both independently and collaboratively, and single rooms with en-suite facilities for boarders. Not forgetting well-equipped kitchens and even washing machines to help ease the transition to university living. Read more about these exciting developments at the heart of the School here www.kesw.org/exhibition-hall-development/. We look forward to seeing how these projects, along with our Gurdon's Lane developments, take shape over the next 8 months ready for September 2022!	... See MoreSee Less
