Background:

The first school was opened on a site next to the church in 1872 and the main building was redesigned in 1922 an infant school was built. St Edmunds is now able to educate children from nursery to Year 6 on site. A 'wide range' of extra-curricular activities is offered including netball, football, story club, gardening, games club, cookery club, maths club and technology club. This is a Catholic school which exists to 'support and guide the family, to value and preserve our Catholic heritage and to build on this inheritance so that within the whole shool community we may grow in knowledge, love of God and each other, imparting this knowledge and love to the children in our care'. It is the aim of the school to 'provide opportunities for each child to attain his/her potential in an atmosphere which is stimulating, warm, secure and loving, each child being valued for himself and learning to respect himself and others in keeping with the Catholic ethos of the school'.
