EDUCATION
AN ALL-ROUND EXCELLENT EDUCATION
St Edmund's School Canterbury is a distinctive
and historic boarding and day school for
boys and girls aged 3-18 years that provides
a lively, challenging education in a nurturing
environment and is proud to be the Choir
School for Canterbury Cathedral.
Academic standards are set high and the
school is renowned for its excellence in Music,
Drama and Art as well as its sporting success
in cricket, tennis, hockey and football. For
younger pupils, St Edmund’s has a prestigious
reputation for the very highest standard of
Nursery and Pre-Prep education.
The Head, Louise Moelwyn-Hughes, believes
that conformity and character play a part in
making St Edmund’s an exceptional school.
She explains: "Ordinarily regarded as conflicting
ideas, it is a strength of St Edmund’s School
that we are able to exhibit and celebrate each
of these qualities in all that we are and in all
that we do. Whilst St Edmund’s is changing
physically and is certainly making great
progress in every area, its core values remain
constant. Each year I report that at the heart of
all that we do remains a tradition of academic
excellence; a respect for the individual, a belief
in meritocracy, and a commitment to ensuring
that our pupils value and nurture those allimportant interpersonal skills and qualities they
will need to lead happy, fulfilling and successful
lives. And that it is the intangibles and the
values that remain long after the memories of
GCSE and A-level examinations have faded
away."
St Edmund’s welcomes enquiries from parents
and encourages families to visit the school.
Entry points at ages 3+, 7+, 11+, 13+ and 16+
are the norm, but entry into other year groups
is possible when places become available.
Located altogether on a beautiful site
overlooking the vibrant city of Canterbury, the
school benefits from excellent transport links
to London and operates a minibus service for
pupils living outside of Canterbury.
