YOUR EDUCATION
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.
Vocational training opportunities play a major part in preparing each pupil for adult life. Some young people proceed into the school’s post-16 provision, supported by their local authorities, where they follow bespoke courses; this may include part or full-time attendance at college, supported by a learning mentor from the school.
OUR COMMUNITY
The school creates opportunities for pupils to contribute to the wider community and an enviable range of outdoor, sporting, and recreational ventures provide 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.

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.

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. Whilst we take nothing for granted and know there will bumps along the way, we are very excited to see what the next academic year holds for him. We are all delighted that you will continue as his key worker, as you will be best placed to help him navigate the changes that being in Upper School will entail."
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."
