At St Edmund’s we strive for all our children to achieve their best academically as they progress in their learning journey. We also seek to recognise, value and nurture the individual qualities of each child. Through our weekly focus on the Federation’s values which identify the ‘Characteristics of an Effective Learner’, we teach, identify and celebrate a number of essential life skills which our children develop as members of our school community. Our accreditation as a Silver Rights Respecting School demonstrates the importance we place on supporting our children to understand the rights and responsibilities that they have as a member of our school community and as a global citizen in the wider world...

'An essential part of having open dialogue with your child is to not judge, even if their behaviour or life online isn't what you wanted or expected.' - Top Tips for parents and carers this #SaferInternetDay https://t.co/PMgzL7ImDR https://t.co/ZwAr53AlbD
Talking about our mental health isn't something that comes easily to everyone. Finding alternative ways of connecting with others & sharing our thoughts is so important & is something we've been promoting with our children @StEds_ip33 this week #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek https://t.co/h59C0yI2fC
We've spent time in school opening up discussions about keeping safe online as today was #SaferInternetDay2023 & the theme this year is focused on making space for conversations about life online. Making time to talk to your child at home is essential too https://t.co/bBjw4DwzJf
We're spending time this week thinking about the importance of connection. This year's Children's Mental Health Week theme is 'Let's Connect' & links closely to our daily work & interactions with the children using the @ThriveApproach #childrensmentalhealthweek @Place2Be https://t.co/b3wqTxlrtW
Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time to help before, during or after this evening's two discos. The children at both events had a great time and will hopefully sleep well (I know the grown-ups certainly will!) Have a lovely weekend. https://t.co/DwPW963zoZ
The EY and KS1 Disco is underway and the dance floor is filling up! https://t.co/BtSoIys2Ko
It was a nail biting time in Y6 today as the first heats of the CrumbleBot Race took place! The children have been writing codes to programme the CrumbleBots & today they tested them out. They will now be refining their codes next week to see if they can improve their performance https://t.co/lEWbzz7zCf
Yesterday the children in Owls class were looking at different food groups and making and tasting a healthy sandwich that they had designed. The children grated cheese and sliced apples, cucumbers and tomatoes. Lots of them were brave and tried a new food for the first time. https://t.co/IZhvmWbRGT
