St Edmund’s Mission Aims and Ethos
What does this mean in practice? A Christ-centred education is ‘child-centred’ inasmuch as it asks of us to see Christ in every child and to ask every child to set him or herself the highest possible standard imitatio Christi, following the example of Jesus.
We look upon our students, be they Christian or not, with love and respect and encourage a culture of vocation in which every person reaches their full potential, visualising and actualising their God-given gifts. Through this we combine an appreciation for each child’s individuality and talents with a refusal to allow them to limit their expectations by questions of individual circumstances.
