Academic Ethos

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 the future.

We offer a variety of challenging and exciting I/GCSE and A-level courses that appeal to young people, regardless of their strengths and interests. Highly-qualified teachers and small class sizes ensure that every student receives inspirational instruction, with vibrant debates and individual attention in every classroom. Pupils develop critical 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 innovative ideas and multi-dimensional thinking. Our commitment to academic excellence is complemented by a supportive environment that nurtures curiosity and creativity. By fostering a love of learning in a dynamic environment, St Edmund’s encourages pupils to embrace challenges and develop the skills they need to thrive both in school and beyond. We inspire pupils to aim for and achieve the very highest academic standards and prepare them to succeed in their future professional careers.
