The value of a high quality, all round education
St Edmund’s School Canterbury is a coeducational day and boarding school for girls and boys from the ages of 3 to 18 which understands and upholds the values of both stability and change. The Head, Louise Moelwyn-Hughes, explains, “The School’s core values remain constant in that at the heart of all that we do remains a tradition of academic excellence, a respect for the individual, a belief in meritocracy, and a commitment to ensuring that our young men and women leave St Edmund’s not only with the exam grades they will require for university and employment, but with the interpersonal skills and qualities they will need to lead happy, ful?lling and successful lives. Government statisticians increasingly know the price – or at least the UCAS
tariff score – of every conceivable quali?cation, but they do not always recognise the value of a high quality all round education. “At St Edmund’s, we are con?dent that pupils have been well taught to excel in GCSE and A level, but we are equally sure that important bene?ts of a St Edmund’s education are the intangibles, the values and inner strengths, that underpin adult life. “In many ways, St Edmund’s, although true to its traditional roots, is a changing school, with the recent upgrading of classroom, boarding and house facilities, and the creation of a new Astro pitch, Medical Centre, Sixth Form Centre very much enjoyed by our pupils and staff. So too has the curriculum seen change in the last two years with Arabic, Economics, Greek and
Government and Politics being added to the wide range of subjects on offer to our pupils. “St Edmund’s welcomes new pupils and their families to come along and experience our excellent classroom teaching, our outstanding extra-curricular provision and our lively and vibrant charitable and service programmes. “Entry points at ages 3+, 7+, 11+, 13+ and 16+ are the norm, but there is scope for entry into other year groups when places become available.” For an informal discussion or to arrange a visit, please contact the Admissions team on 01227 475601. www.stedmunds.org.uk
