At St Edmund’s we strive for all our children to achieve their best academically as they progress in their learning journey. We also seek to recognise, value and nurture the individual qualities of each child. Through our weekly focus on the Federation’s values which identify the ‘Characteristics of an Effective Learner’, we teach, identify and celebrate a number of essential life skills which our children develop as members of our school community. Our accreditation as a Silver Rights Respecting School demonstrates the importance we place on supporting our children to understand the rights and responsibilities that they have as a member of our school community and as a global citizen in the wider world...
-Mrs Kate Copeman, Head of School
It was great to welcome Annie and Sue from @om_hwc back into school today to offer their support to some of our parents and staff. We're always grateful for the advice they share and their kindness towards our school community
We were really proud of our @RSMusicSchool band members who put on their latest Rocksteady gig for us all last week. It was great to listen to each band perform the tracks they've been working hard this term to perfect. https://t.co/N4fJWcUl6d
Our KS2 choir enjoyed providing some festive cheer for the residents who live next door when they went to sing a selection of carols last week. It was lovely that some the residents joined in singing too https://t.co/u2x9FJ45CN
