Excellent behaviour and student progress for all are underpinned by our CARE  values (Calm - Aspirational - Respectful - Engaged) upheld by all who work or study at St Edmund’s.

Our community is wonderfully diverse, engaging and energetic. “A good school with an excellent sixth form” (Ofsted Nov 2019) we are at the forefront of quality first teaching with a mission to ensure our students are all productive, active citizens who will go on to do good in the world and make a difference. Our mission of “Love - Service - Forgiveness” underpins both formal teaching and the personal and spiritual development of our students.
