Welcome to St Edmund's Catholic Primary School

Dear Parents and Carers,

On behalf of the Governing Body of St Edmunds, I would like to welcome you to our school community. The Governing Body which is made up of volunteers from our parents, our parish and the local area, work closely to support the school staff to provide the best education for your children.

Our school was established in 1912 to provide education for children living in the local community. So great was the desire for the school, the local community raised funds to pay for it. The school has progressed considerably since those early days. St Edmund’s achievements and traditions continue to be well respected in the community.

The school received two inspections in 2023.

On the 21st and 22nd March the school received an Ofsted Inspection and the result was St Edmund's continues to be a good school.  The inspector also commented:

 

Leaders have designed a broad and well-sequenced curriculum.

Teachers have good subject knowledge.

Leaders understand the importance of reading for pupils' life chances.

Leaders have a passion and determination to provide the best possible education for pupils.

On the 18th and 19th October St Edmund's School was inspected by the Catholic Schools inspectorate and was judged to be good in each category of Catholic Life and Mission, Religious Education and Collective Worship.

The vision we live by at St Edmunds is enshrined in the three words Love, Care, Share. This follows our Christian ethos and beliefs and the expectations we wish to maintain with pupils and the school community. 

Children who attend St Edmund's will be taught traditional values within a national curriculum that will ensure they learn, flourish and grow in a happy environment.

We look forward to getting to know you and working with you all in the coming years.

Yours faithfully

Mr T. Kramer

Chair of Governors
