Welcome to our schools. I am very proud to be the Executive Headteacher across the federation of St Edmund’s, St Edmund’s Preschool and St Joseph’s.
Our schools provide high quality education to approximately 600 children aged 3 to 11 years across the three settings. Our mission statement ‘Learning Together in God’s love by encouraging and supporting one another’ reflects the culture of care that allows every child to flourish academically, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Whilst our partnership brings great advantages as we share expertise and resources, each school is unique so please visit their separate pages to find out more about each one.

The UNCRC right to play is not an optional extra. It's fundamental to our physical, social, mental & emotional development. @StEds_ip33 How about trying a few of these ideas to keep you busy this week I'm off to find a water pistol! https://t.co/52CzQTkFFF
A few ideas which might be of interest over the summer or the months ahead. Singing in the rain shouldn't be too tricky at the minute.☔ We'd also love to see a photo if you manage to build a rock cairn. Make the most of being outdoors https://t.co/6Y0nqE0WGA
Happy Holidays to our fab #BikeTrain crew and passengers. Thanks to the High Sheriff of Suffolk @MarkPNewAnglia, who joined us on Fri for the last one of term. We clocked up 185 trains and 872 active commutes this school year! See you in September â€â™‚ï¸ Photo: April Urquhart https://t.co/jm2973OrWj

We welcomed @MarkPNewAnglia the High Sheffif of Suffolk yesterday to speak to a group of our children who use the @ecocarriersbse bike train or who regularly cycle to school. They were intrigued to learn about his role and the significance of the images on his badge of office. https://t.co/T4TXK8T4dt
We were fascinated to watch as Kecleon strolled along, keen to climb and explore where she was. We watched intently to see how she used her feet to climb. Quite uniquely, chameleons use their toes in bundles of two or three on the inside and outside of their feet to aid climbing. https://t.co/W6FH7LypFb
We had an extra member amongst our school community this week. Miss Findlay's yemen chameleon Kecleon came for a visit. The children in Yr3 loved having the chance to see her up close, especially as she was shedding when she visited, which only happens every couple of months. https://t.co/l5BNT2vpuw
Year 4 had a fabulous Viking Day yesterday. They came dressed for the occasion (staff included!) and enjoyed embracing the experience. https://t.co/EdW0D9DRVm
This week we are saying goodbye & good luck to our Yr6s. Whilst they will no longer be at St Eds, they have left us with many happy memories and they too have taken a wealth of memories with them. They enjoyed making memory jars to capture just a few of their memories. https://t.co/f09RYrXbIX

We had a great afternoon today as the EYs and KS1 children took part in their Sports Day events. Take a look at a few of the action shots from some of the different activities they took part in. https://t.co/sjmIpgNeNj
Does anyone fancy a fruit kebab? Yr 2 were hard at work this week carefully slicing and peeling fruit to make kebabs. Unsurprisingly, they enjoyed consuming them just as much as they did making them! https://t.co/c0TXw4F53Y

Two very happy winners. A prize and a cupcake. https://t.co/3oGLsD7uxB
Designing sweet filled cupcakes in Solomon Class which will be taken home later! One design even incorporated our logo. https://t.co/TDN24B03T0
Sandy the gerbil came to visit today. The children have learned how to care for gerbils and were allowed to hold them if they wanted too. https://t.co/XXj1zOrDfZ
Laughter and learning during transition afternoon ! The children were speculating who their new teacher and teaching assistant would be and after lunch all was revealed.This afternoon there were craft activities across the school. The new year 1s made delicious fruit kebabs. https://t.co/j0vhFeCvhP
Our wonderful Mini Vinnie’s president is moving on. She has been a kind and compassionate member of our group all year, helping to raise funds, collect food, make gifts and cards, visit the local care home. She was always ready to help others. @minivinnies https://t.co/JURGCu4O9O
Visit to the Fire Station. The children watched a safety video, tried on uniform, used the hoses and had a tour of a fire engine. When asked what was the best bit about the trip the children said 'EVERYTHING!' Thank you to retained firefighters Michael and Gareth. @sudburyfire https://t.co/C0nvfnvUX3
An emotional leaver’s Holy Mass this morning. The children were so prayerful and reverent throughout Mass. Father Brett did a super homily reminding the children how loved by God they are and to share love and kindness to others throughout their lives. https://t.co/pB6IV8tBVv
The Leaver’s Assembly took us all on an emotional rollercoaster through their time at St Joes. Then a pizza party, sponsored by Domino’s . To finish off the day a disco! An amazing day for very special children, who will be starting a new chapter in their lives very soon! https://t.co/C5gwPqjUOM
Another full house this time for the EYFS and Key Stage 1 sports day. Lots of excitement and cheering! The Year 6 children are helping with setting up and stickering. https://t.co/hy8WciurqF
First Aid training this morning from https://t.co/g7408EX2OF trainer Naomi Cooper. Pictured some Year 6 children practicing abdominal thrusts. https://t.co/b2VqJsN4ME
During assembly this morning we celebrated with the First Holy Communion children. They came dressed in their special clothes and told the children how it felt be able to have the Holy Eucharist, and celebrate feeling closer to God with their families. https://t.co/cDrboLR2s0
St. Joseph’s children had their First Holy Communion this afternoon at Our Lady and St. John the Evangelist, our Parish church. The children looked so smart and read their prayers so clearly. They did our school proud. May they continue to feel God’s blessings. @RCEastAnglia https://t.co/tb5sTulx8y
Well done Daniel, we are so proud of your achievements. His team have come top of their football league and Daniel won the managers player of the season. https://t.co/0IMNgBpPo7
Dear Parents, School will re-open to key worker and vulnerable pupils only on Tuesday 5th January 2021. For full details please see the letter from the Headteacher and Governing body on the website: https://t.co/1bpqp4PS4l
Look at our stories about 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'. We like to write picture stories to read to each other at circle time. https://t.co/jZF4XnNrZG
What a busy time we've been having in Pre-school. Our caterpillars have hatched and the children released them to 'collect nectar from the flowers' (MC). We also went to the theatre to see The Very Hungry Caterpillar - what fun! https://t.co/IjjeUQinXb
The wonderful adventure wonderland. What fun! https://t.co/cJ4GTxXHTH
From frogs to dinosaurs...what a busy week. The children love the swamp theme and enjoy the smell of the herbs in the swamp. https://t.co/paEgUu34uv
We've been playing in our tuff spot with Chia seeds and thinking about the frog pond in the school vegetable garden. We love the way the slimy chia seeds feel like frog spawn. https://t.co/ULZ13tHtSX
We love learning about life cycles and growing. We're busy watching worms and caterpillars at the moment. Our beans are growing in the garden and we're looking at the frogs in the school garden. Such a lot of growing going on in pre-school this term. https://t.co/VEt7bwPZm3
More Happy Little Walkers! We love walking to school - it helps us to get strong muscles and keep active. Join us by walking, scooting or cycling to pre-school tomorrow. https://t.co/DIxkjFP95G
It's walk to school week this week. We're having great fun, joining in with the Little Feet campaign, encouraging our little ones to walk, scoot or cycle to school - no buggies for us this week! Get your sticker tomorrow for walking to school! https://t.co/hvMf37galA
Forest School today. It might be cold and wet, but we still love being outside, climbing trees and developing our muscles as we learn to take risks and manage our safety with the help of our teachers. https://t.co/LRXfcYKAa7
We've been having a busy old time here in pre-school. Thinking about the artist Kandinsky, and making wonderful circle pictures with buttons in Explorers Corner. https://t.co/x1dfxDlGDR
We are so pleased to be part of the school family at St Edmund's. Your response to our needs is such an amazing example to set children - they truly are "Learning together in God's Love"

I am so impressed with the way the children are conducting themselves, they are so focussed and want to achieve. Their class teacher has given them so much self-belief.

Thank you so much for all of the help, care and support for Penelope over the past year. She can’t wait to go to ‘big school’ and you have done an excellent job in preparing her for the next step in her learning.
