Curriculum
Children learn a wide variety of subjects, but they are also encouraged to develop the means whereby they can retain and reproduce knowledge, find academic self- motivation, feed a hungry mind, learn strong study-skills, and create a determination to set themselves the highest possible standards.
Sport & The Arts
An exciting and varied cocurricular programme operates alongside and in conjunction with the curriculum so that children have the opportunity to excel outside the classroom too. Nestled within 40 acres of Surrey countryside, the school’s sporting facilities include a magnificent nine-hole golf course, games fields, a cross-country running course, an indoor swimming pool, netball courts and a floodlit all-weather sports pitch. The arts programme ensures that all children experience a wide range of activities designed to increase not only their skills but also their appreciation and understanding of the world’s cultural heritage.
Pastoral Care
The outstanding level of pastoral care offered at St Edmund’s puts the pupil at the very heart of every decision taken. Staff recognise that every child is unique with individual needs, potential, circumstances, feelings and expectations. The school promotes a powerful and strong sense of community, with pupils of all ages integrating with one another, enabling older pupils the opportunity of sharing their experiences as well as helping and supporting the younger pupils.
Exit Destinations
Recent leavers have secured music and academic scholarships to Charterhouse, Cranleigh and Churcher’s College.
Head’s Philosophy
To prove a traditional education with a modern twist, encouraging children to be themselves. St Edmund’s inspires a foundation of decency in every pupil priming them with the time-honoured values of respect and humility – standards that we see as vital for achieving success in today’s challenging, fast-moving and changing world. The school’s culture, superior academic standards and exceptional pastoral care are complemented by our commitment to small teaching groups and a dedication to the practice of learning outside the classroom.
