MISSION STATEMENT Rooted in Christ and Catholic tradition and under the guidance of its patron, St Edmund’s aims to realise the God-given potential, in body mind and spirit, of all members of its community through service and leadership. Avita Pro Fide! St Edmund’s is committed to ensuring the welfare and protection of children in their care and this commitment is a fundamental part of the role of every employee. St Edmund’s strives to: provide an education for the whole person in the intellectual, physical, emotional and spiritual areas of life; reflect the scholarship of St Edmund by offering a balanced and challenging curriculum for each individual; show concern for all within the St Edmund’s community, demonstrating its commitment to be truly Christ-centred in all that it does, ensuring that the students’ experience of relationships within St Edmund’s reflects the Gospel maxim, “love thy neighbour as thy self”; use its enriching Catholic heritage to make prayer, worship and liturgy a central part of the lives of all in its community; create a meaningful and effective interaction between St Edmund’s and home and the wider community to prepare children to make their way in the world but also to make a difference to the world. Today, St Edmund’s offers not simply an education for Catholics but a Catholic education, welcoming people of all faiths ready to embrace the values that have made it and its predecessors such a successful seat of learning for over 400 years.
