IN ASSOCIATION WITH
ST EDMUND’ S SCHOOL CANTERBURY
“ 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.
St Edmund’ s is a school where each pupil really does strive to be the very best they can be, at whatever level that happens to be, and it celebrates and sees success and accomplishment in all areas. While remaining
true to its ethos of valuing respectfulness, kindness and promoting meritocracy, the core ambition is to provide opportunity and to open up horizons.
The new Head of St Edmund’ s, Edward O’ Connor, says:“ St Edmund’ s is a dynamic and vibrant school; I am proud of its family spirit, its outstanding pastoral care, and its commitment to nurturing the individual talents of pupils.”
With the advantage of the whole school- from Nursery to Sixth Form- sharing the same site, all children benefit from being part of the 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.
St Edmund’ s welcomes day and boarding enquiries from parents and encourages families to visit the school. The usual entry points are for ages 3 +, 7 +, 11 +, 13 + and 16 +, but entry into other year groups is possible when places become available.
