The pursuit of academic rigour is at the heart of what we do.
We encourage all students to be the best they can be, and to adopt a positive approach to study, whilst striking a balance with a breadth of extra-curricular and enrichment activities.
Inspired by the scholarly ways of St Edmund, our students have enquiring minds, open hearts, and a love of learning. At St Ed’s you’ll be supported by a tutor, Head of House, subject teachers, and our Heads of Department. We’ll regularly review your progress and agree targets for your progress. Openess, discussion and reflection is encouraged here.
