"Exploring faith, life and learning"
St Edward's is affiliated with St Martin's Church. Collective Acts of Worship form an important part of school life. Through assemblies within school and at St Martin's Church, children acquire knowledge and understanding of a range of relationships, attitudes, religious and philosophical issues. As a whole school we hold Harvest, Christingle and Easter services at St Martin's, and celebrate with our church at other times of the year.
Welcome from Headteacher Dr A Petrie: the school has been led by Dr Petrie for 22 years; the school is described as a kind, caring and welcoming community with children at the heart of all we do. The staff aim to provide a calm, stimulating environment where good behaviour and mutual respect are modelled, and where everyone is valued. The school emphasizes its Christian values and invites visits to see the school in action.
