“ PUPILS HAVE POSITIVE ATTITUDES TO LEARNING AND ARE STRONGLY MOTIVATED TO SUCCEED .” INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS INSPECTORATE REPORT
St Edmund ' s School Canterbury is a distinctive and historic boarding and day school for boys and girls aged 3 – 18 that provides a lively , challenging education in a nurturing environment and is proud to be the Choir School for Canterbury Cathedral . Academic standards are set high and the school is renowned for its excellence in music , drama and art as well as its sporting success in cricket , tennis , hockey and football .
The Head , Louise Moelwyn-Hughes , says St Edmund ’ s has “ a history which stretches back to 1749 , a commitment to good old fashioned values and an appreciation of a religious heritage . But equally importantly it is an inherently forward looking , aspirational , flexible and ever-changing community .”
With the advantage of the whole school sharing the same site , children joining the Pre-Prep or Junior School benefit from being part of the whole
St Edmund ’ s community as well as the small class sizes , the excellent pastoral care and the enriching range of extracurricular opportunities on offer to all pupils . All this adds up to offer an exceptional educational experience .
The aim of the Junior School is to produce independent learners who are confident and motivated and , as a ‘ through ’ school , the pupils can then expect to move seamlessly into Senior School where they will continue to flourish .
St Edmund ’ s welcomes day and boarding enquiries from parents and encourages families to visit the school . Entry points at ages 3 +, 7 +, 11 +, 13 + and 16 + are the norm , but entry into other year groups is possible when places become available .
