This week in RE, our Sparrows class took part in a "hot seating" activity to explore the life and experiences of Mary Magdalene. The children asked thoughtful and imaginative questions, showing great curiosity and empathy as they stepped into her story. It was wonderful to see such confidence, creativity, and respect as they deepened their understanding of this important figure. A fantastic week of learning - well done, Sparrows!

Our Goldfinches were so proud to show off their beautiful window display! They carefully created colourful crosses, filling the windows with light, pattern, and meaning. Of course, they had to gather everyone for a group photo (with plenty of smiles, giggles, and a few funny poses along the way!). And just as they did... Father David appeared - such a lovely surprise that made the moment even more special.

A huge congratulations to all our KS2 children for taking part in this year's Easter Garden Competition. Your imagination, effort, and attention to detail were truly outstanding! From beautiful spring scenes to thoughtful Easter stories, every garden was unique and a joy to see. You should all be incredibly proud of your hard work and creativity. Thank you to our families for your continued support in helping bring these wonderful creations to life.

There's been one name on everyone's lips lately... Dougie (@dougie_the_school_dog) Our children (and staff!) have really missed our beloved school dog, and it just hasn't felt the same without him. So, we decided to find a little way to keep his spirit alive... Introducing our new courtyard companion, now proudly taking pride of place for everyone to enjoy! He may not wag his tail, but he'll be sure to bring smiles, comfort, and a touch of Dougie magic back to our days!
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.
