What a fantastic Sports Day! Friday was filled with energy, encouragement and wonderful team spirit as our children took part in a wide range of activities and races. It was lovely to see everyone giving their best, cheering one another on and enjoying every moment of the day. A huge thank you to all parents and carers for your support throughout the event and for helping everything run so smoothly. We were also delighted to share our picnic lunch together afterwards such a special opportunity for families and staff to come together in the sunshine as a school community. Thank you to our amazing staff team, The Friends for their support and refreshments, and the Middle School Sports Leaders for all their enthusiasm and encouragement throughout the day.
Our School Values
"A good school provides a rounded education for the whole person. And a good Catholic school, over and above this, should help all its students to become saints." (Pope Benedict XVI, 2010)
As a Catholic school, we value and respect every person as an individual, always remembering our school mission that “we see Jesus in everything we do.”
The curriculum we offer to all of our pupils is broad, balanced, and firmly rooted in the Gospel values. In addition, the school promotes the British values of democracy, liberty, tolerance, and mutual respect through the school curriculum.
Our curriculum is enriched by a diversity of learning experiences that aim to develop pupils’ creativity and independence, so that they can become learners for life.
The school has high expectations of behaviour and attitudes. The hard-working staff at the school strive to ensure that each child is appropriately challenged and excited to learn, so that they can achieve well and develop as well-rounded individuals.
St Edward's First recognises the importance of fostering a healthy home-school partnership. We understand that as parents, you know your child better than anyone and so we actively encourage regular communication and contact between home and school through parent meetings, consultation evenings, and curriculum information workshops.
The school enjoys the support of a committed and supportive Board of Governors and a very active and enthusiastic Friends of St Edward's First association. This, together with the well–established parish links that the school maintains with St Edward's Church, ensures a strong partnership between school, home,e and parish where our children can flourish and grow in Christ.
