The Head of St Edmund’s, Edward O’Connor, says: “St Edmund’s
is a forward-thinking school where creativity flourishes and pupils
feel valued.”
From West End quality theatre productions and Gala Concerts
in Canterbury Cathedral to the community orchestra (East Kent
Children’s Orchestra) and public art exhibitions, the pupils at St
Edmund’s are offered a wealth of opportunities in the arts.
And not forgetting the annual St Edmund’s Festival which
presents an eclectic mix of events including world-class musicians,
drama shows and art workshops. Look out for Curtis Stigers
on 26th June!
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. 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 the small class sizes,
excellent pastoral care and enriching co-curricular
opportunities.
