'MAKE YOURSELF NECESSARY'

ST EDWARD'S SCHOOL

We are a specialist day school providing care and education for boys who experience social, emotional and mental health difficulties (SEMH)

Pupils are referred by local authorities as a result of diagnosed difficulties relating primarily to their behaviour. Consideration for placement is made on the basis of a set of admission criteria provided to the Local Authority and discussed with families at interview.

The school offers a full compensatory education programme for pupils in Key Stage 2 and 3, leading to GCSE examinations and/or functional literacy and numeracy courses where these may be more appropriate for a young person in Key Stage 4.

EDUCATION & PERSONAL GROWTH

St Edward’s tries to assist each pupil’s personal and social growth, whilst at the same time offering a first class all round education. Within a friendly, supportive and stimulating community, boys are encouraged to grow as individuals, cultivate their talents, adopt the habit of working to the best of their ability in school, develop a sense of responsibility for their actions and celebrate their achievements.

Testimonials

"Thank you sincerely for letting us see more of our sons life at St Edward's. It was moving (happy tears), to see him confidently wondering about, being accepted, being himself, and belonging. Meeting kids who told me they were his friends was fantastic. You know you are transforming his life and that of all the boys. It is hard to believe how much love, acceptance, empathy, respect and patience there was everywhere. It is overwhelming. I can't imagine there is a better school with a better staff for these boys anywhere. It is deeply inspiring. 

Testimonials

"There are no words to convey how extremely grateful we are to you for supporting our son so brilliantly since his arrival at St Edwards. Your friendly, honest, warm and perfectly pitched light touch approach, was spot on for him and he has grown to trust and respect you deeply. Feeling safe and supported, he is now rediscovering his love for all things and after many years of watching his light diminish and eventually burn out, we are now watching him regain his confidence and enjoy life again. 

Testimonials

"We wanted to thank you both for the support and care you have shown this year. We are so happy that he has finally seems to have found a school where he can thrive. The staff have been exceptional this year and we can’t wait to see what next year brings."

DEVELOPING RELATIONSHIPS

A high premium is placed on the growth of positive relationships between pupils and the staff team, such that, in times of challenge or crisis, appropriate staff support may enable pupils to address and overcome difficulty. We aim to help pupils manage the difficulties and obstacles they may encounter with a prevailing sense of respect and regard for their personal dignity, and always in the knowledge that we are here to help.

OUR COMMUNITY

The school creates opportunities for pupils to contribute to the wider community, and an enviable range of outdoor, sporting, and recreational ventures provides strong incentives to participate in and beyond the classroom. Our model of living and working encourages pupils to develop active, participating and contributing membership of their home communities and society in general.
