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
“This school remains true to its ethos from
centuries back of valuing respectfulness,
kindness, meritocracy, but it increasingly steps
beyond that by challenging itself and seeking
to be something different. Aspiration is now
core in this school and pupils and staff
constantly push beyond; challenge themselves
to ‘be all they can be’.”
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 small class sizes, excellent pastoral care
and enriching extra-curricular opportunities.
All this adds up to offer an exceptional
educational experience that is St Edmund’s.
As a result of its current popularity and success,
St Edmund’s School Canterbury is the largest
it has been in its 268-year history so it is very
timely that the building of a new Academic
Hub is underway and the first phase of this
exciting development will be complete and
ready for use by pupils in January 2018.
