Welcome to our school website, and thank you for virtually visiting us!
St Edward’s Catholic First School is a First School, meaning that we cater for children aged 4 – 9 (Reception to Year 4). Situated a short walk away from the town centre of Windsor, it serves the Parish of St Edward’s and St Mark’s in the Diocese of Portsmouth and is maintained in partnership with the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead.

Goldfinches have been busy exploring measurement in Maths this week! The children learnt how to measure the lengths and heights of different objects around the classroom using rulers. They discovered that accurate measuring starts at zero and loved investigating and comparing the sizes of different items. We also explored mass using scales, learning that the heavier object makes the scale go down. The children enjoyed testing different objects, discussing which were heavier or lighter, and sharing their discoveries with each other. Fantastic teamwork and super measuring skills from everyone!

Nightingales took part in some Mediterranean food tasting... Olives mixed feelings. Some thoughtful pecking, some dramatic side-eyes. Italian pastries absolute hit. Gone in seconds. No notes. Tzatziki rejected immediately. Not even a courtesy sniff. Pitta cautiously approved after extensive investigation. Overall rating: "more pastries please."

A big thank you to @sallydohertywrites for kindly sharing copies of her books with us. On Friday, as a school, we also had the opportunity to learn more about ME (myalgic encephalomyelitis) and the impact it can have on daily life. We're very grateful for Sally's openness in helping us deepen our understanding and for taking the time to support our learning in such a generous way. The books will be a valued part of our library and a reminder of the importance of awareness, empathy, and inclusion. Thank you again, Sally
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.
