Welcome to St Edmund's Catholic Primary School
Our school is a welcoming, happy school where people are helpful, considerate and respectful of each other. Our school is a vibrant, positive place that provides a safe and welcoming environment in which to learn. As a Catholic School, we seek to live out the values of Jesus Christ. We promote these values by our words and deeds and recognising that every child is unique and is created in the image of God. Through our mission statement, “Through Christ, We Learn” we are dedicated to ensuring that our children uphold these values every day.
We are very fortunate to have such a dedicated team of teachers, support staff and other members of our school team, who strive to ensure that every child is successful, confident and responsibly, equipped with all the skills they need to continue on their future learning journey. Staff encourage the children to engage in our wide and varied curriculum and provide an atmosphere where children can fully develop their talents and learn new skills. We have carefully designed our curriculum to develop thinking skills, creativity and spirituality, encouraging confidence and opportunities for children to be excited about learning and challenged to achieve their very best.
We aim to cultivate first class partnerships with parents and carers, governors, our parish and the local community who play such an important part in the life of our thriving school.
I hope our new school website will give our parents, carers and prospective parents an insight into the life of St. Edmund’s Catholic Primary School. We warmly encourage families to arrange a tour of our wonderful school community so that you may see learning in action. Please do not hesitate to contact our School Office if there is anything else you would like to know about our school.
Thank you once again.
Best wishes

Dear Parents and Carers,
It is a joy to welcome you to St Edmund’s Catholic Primary School. Our mission is simple: “Through Christ we learn.” Every child here is seen as God’s masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10), created with unique gifts to grow in faith, wisdom, and love.
Guided by our SPIRIT values — Service, Perseverance, Integrity, Respect, Inclusivity, and Trust — we strive to provide an education where children flourish academically, spiritually, and personally. As Jesus reminds us, “You are the light of the world” (Matthew 5:14), and it is our privilege to help each child shine.
Thank you for entrusting your child to our care. We look forward to working in partnership with you.
With every blessing,
Antonis Antoniou
