Deputy Head - Junior School

St Edmund’s today is a dynamic co-educational 3-18 day and boarding school.

Our pupils benefit from a caring and supportive environment, high-calibre teaching and a holistic educational approach that seeks to develop creativity, leadership qualities and original thinking.

A broad academic curriculum and extraordinarily diverse co-curricular programme enable pupils to find their path and grow to ‘be all they can be’.

Our small class sizes enable the personalisation of learning so that pupils receive the attention and academic challenge they need to excel.

Every pupil here is known and understood.

The fact that we educate children from the age of 3 to 18 underpins the strong family atmosphere and sense of community that pervade the school.

St Edmund’s is proud of its pupil-centred and ambitious academic ethos.  We seek to foster original thinkers with the intellectual and personal skills to be leaders and decision makers in future.

We offer a variety of challenging and exciting I/GCSE and A-level courses which appeal to young people whatever their strengths and interests.  Highly-qualified teachers and small class sizes mean that young people receive inspirational instruction, with vibrant debate and individual attention colouring every classroom.

Pupils develop learning skills through project work and research opportunities such as the Extended Project Qualification and the Durrell Essay.  We encourage cross-curricular work to promote original ideas and multi-dimensional thinking.

Essentially, our pupils are encouraged throughout their time at St Edmund’s to aim for and achieve the very highest academic standards of which they are capable.
