Welcome to St Edmund's School Canterbury

We know that children learn effectively when they are happy and motivated. To enable this, we provide a lively, challenging education in a safe and nurturing environment. We have high expectations for excellent academic achievement and for enthusiastic involvement in extra-curricular activities.

We are proud of our reputation as a friendly school with a family atmosphere, where we know our girls and boys well. We invite you to visit the Pre-Prep, Junior or Senior School to find out why St Edmund's is the right place for your child.

Based in Kent, the Garden of England, the School is just less than an hour from London on the high speed train from St Pancras and about an hour from Gatwick airport. For travel to and from the continental Europe on the Eurostar, Ebbsfleet is about an hour and Ashford is just over half an hour away on the motorway.
