Our staff are now facing the very difficult task of choosing just 5 entries to go forward to British Science Week not an easy decision at all with so many fantastic posters to choose from! Well done to everyone who entered, you should all be incredibly proud!

Feeling extra grateful for our beautiful magnolia tree! It's been such a joy watching it bloom and bring a little magic to our school entrance each year. We've had so many lovely compliments from visitors about it, and it always makes us smile knowing others appreciate it just as much as we do!

Sparrows took part in a Sniffly Sneezes experiment to get us thinking about the strength and absorbency of materials used as tissues. We tested a variety of different materials to observe how they behave when they absorbed water. We had lots of fun investigating!

Fledglings have been celebrating Science Week and linking it to their learning all about Space! The children worked together to create a cosy den under the table. When they climbed underneath and switched on their torches, they discovered a starry surprise shining above them! It was a magical moment as the children explored their very own mini night sky and talked about stars, space, and what they might find beyond our planet. Hands-on experiences like this spark curiosity, imagination, and a love of learning about the world around us.

Our School Values
"A good school provides a rounded education for the whole person. And a good Catholic school, over and above this, should help all its students to become saints." (Pope Benedict XVI, 2010)
As a Catholic school, we value and respect every person as an individual, always remembering our school mission that “we see Jesus in everything we do.”
The curriculum we offer to all of our pupils is broad, balanced, and firmly rooted in the Gospel values. In addition, the school promotes the British values of democracy, liberty, tolerance, and mutual respect through the school curriculum.
Our curriculum is enriched by a diversity of learning experiences that aim to develop pupils’ creativity and independence, so that they can become learners for life.
The school has high expectations of behaviour and attitudes. The hard-working staff at the school strive to ensure that each child is appropriately challenged and excited to learn, so that they can achieve well and develop as well-rounded individuals.
St Edward's First recognises the importance of fostering a healthy home-school partnership. We understand that as parents, you know your child better than anyone and so we actively encourage regular communication and contact between home and school through parent meetings, consultation evenings, and curriculum information workshops.
The school enjoys the support of a committed and supportive Board of Governors and a very active and enthusiastic Friends of St Edward's First association. This, together with the well–established parish links that the school maintains with St Edward's Church, ensures a strong partnership between school, home,e and parish where our children can flourish and grow in Christ.
