What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 October 2024
Pupils feel happy and proud to attend St Edward's. They learn well and achieve highly. Pupils fully embody the school's core values of: friendship, thankfulness, truthfulness, trust, forgiveness, respect, reverence and responsibility. Teachers have high expectations of pupils' behaviour, which is exemplary. The range of opportunities at the school for pupils to develop their skills and talents is vast. These are popular among pupils and include golf and instrumental lessons, as well as a number of visits linked to the curriculum. Pupils benefit from taking part in many leadership and cultural opportunities. For example, the school runs a '25 St Edward's Experiences' which is coherently designed and adapted for pupils, including those who attend the specially resourced provision. All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), benefit from a rich programme of additional activities. These include visiting an art gallery, performing in front of others and seeing a fully inclusive theatre production. Pupils enjoy the challenge of achieving all 25 experiences. Parents and carers feel fortunate to have such a welcoming school in their local community. Several parents commented specifically on the inclusive nature and sense of community they experience each day.
