Welcome to St Edmund's Senior School
Educating pupils from ages 13 - 18
The Senior School prepares our pupils for and guides them through the challenges of both GCSE and A Level.
In the Lower Fifth Form our pupils largely shadow the requirements of Key Stage 3, whilst the Middle and Upper Fifth Form takes them through the process of preparing for and sitting their GCSEs. Finally, in the Sixth Form pupils take AS and A2 Level examinations.
As well as academic work, we encourage the development of broader personal and social skills. Individual interests are nurtured alongside the capacity for good interpersonal relationships, and these are all underpinned by the school's Christian ethos. Our House system encourages not only a sense of community and loyalty towards House, but also a healthy rivalry between the Houses, particularly on the sporting field.
Our aim is to realise in your son or daughter not only their academic potential, but also a mature awareness of the spiritual and ethical aspects of life; a self-confidence based upon sound principles of self-knowledge and self-discipline; assured social skills and the understanding of the concepts of duty, loyalty and responsibility; good physical capabilities and an awareness of the importance of team work; and a broad cultural awareness, particularly through experience of music, art and drama.
