St Edward's Mission and Values

St Edward's is a Catholic school, welcoming all. We are a place of learning and a community of Christian values. We work in partnership with parents to develop the talents and interests of all the young people entrusted to us. We aim to develop each individual pupil's maximum potential, academically, personally and spiritually. We serve the wider community by making this education available to all, including those who cannot afford our fees, as far as we are able within our resources.

We aim to:

• teach a wide and stimulating academic curriculum and obtain the best possible exam results to enable our students to achieve their university places
  
• teach beyond exam syllabuses to cultivate our students' critical and creative faculties for their own sake
  
• give Religious Education a central place in our curriculum and nourish our students' spiritual life through prayer and liturgy
  
• provide challenging and absorbing extra-curricular activities as an integral part of school life, with all our students and teachers involved
  
• enable the development of individual excellence and the enjoyment of all in Sport and Outdoor Pursuits
  
• have a rich cultural life in which the Arts, Music and Drama flourish
  
• expect high standards of behaviour, manners and dress and enforce them by means of a fair code of conduct
  
• give good pastoral care to our pupils and guide them in the development of a sound moral character based on the values of the Gospel
