St Edmund's School Canterbury

Welcome from the Headmaster

What do you want for your son or daughter?

Most parents tell me that, above all else, they want their children to be happy and healthy. They also want their child to have an education that will give them the opportunities to become confident, sociable, well balanced people.

That is why most parents who visit our school and meet our friendly pupils and caring, committed staff decide that St Edmund's School is the right place for their child.

We know that academic success for your child is important to you and if you take a look at our exam results you will see that our pupils do very well. However, we also understand that you want more than academic success for your child: you want them to realise their potential wherever their talents lie. This is why we provide a broad curriculum throughout the whole school. We are particularly renowned for music, drama and art and are proud to educate the choristers of Canterbury Cathedral. We also have a strong sporting record and offer many extra curricular activities including the Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme and the Combined Cadet Force (CCF).

Our Junior School and Senior School are located on the same campus and, with no qualifying exam to pass from Junior to Senior School, the transfer is an enjoyable experience

At St Edmund's School it is very important to us that all parents, pupils and staff feel valued by one another and are proud to be at the school, confident that they have made the right choice.

We hope that you will wish to visit us in the near future to find out what makes our school such a very special place for every single child.

The school is located in beautiful grounds, overlooking the historic cathedral city of Canterbury in Kent and is easily accessible from London and London airports by rail or road.

Staff and pupils are passionate about our school and we look forward to meeting you in due course.
