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...
-Mrs Kate Copeman, Head of School

Smiles and laughter filled the playground at lunchtime as we had fun with our friends. We were grateful that the sun was shining. The dressing up box was a firm favourite today! #opal #PlayTogether @OPAL_CIC https://t.co/yNhWlLqxpN
Happy #Playday2024! How are you celebrating children's right to play today? https://t.co/q93Ur5DAHO
Hanging around in the shade at lunchtime was another popular choice today. @OPAL_CIC https://t.co/zgFLIT3Mi4
Loose parts provide the best play opportunities for us all. We've had a great lunchtime. @OPAL_CIC https://t.co/y3bN1OKKmh
It's the last day of term, the sun has come out and we're all rather hot. What better way to cool off than with some water play. @OPAL_CIC https://t.co/simbKxAB0z
The KS2 children in the Nest had a great time at their Sports Day event this afternoon. They participated eagerly and it was lovely that lots of family members came to cheer them on too. Well done to blue team who were today's winners. https://t.co/0T9xagugEb
The Year 1 pupils have been working really hard designing and then creating hand puppets. They have carefully sewn them together and they look fabulous. https://t.co/ctkBkxDWbQ
Tonight we celebrated Mass with our Yr6s and their families. A significant milestone as they end their educational journey with us and head off to secondary school. Their Leavers hoodies were well received and we can't wait to see them wearing them in school tomorrow. https://t.co/NUkjeCEE5X
We had a great afternoon at the EYs/KS1 sports day. The children participated with excitement and enthusiasm and the rain didn't stop us! Well done to St George's house who won the trophy this afternoon. https://t.co/QklIz9yuXM

Well done to those children who were awarded with certificates and badges from Rowen in Friday's celebration recognising their frequent participation in the Bike Train. We're looking forward to other families joining the bike train in the not too distant future. @ecocarriersbse https://t.co/qS8WxWymIi
The Essex police dog section came into school to teach the children about their job. We had demonstrations using two dogs Luther who chases criminals and Sheila who finds items. Thank you to PC Ben Savory and PC Andy. The children and adults were transfixed! @EPDogs https://t.co/CPFSTkfrrZ
We were really proud of the choir who today went and sung next door at the care home. They filled the room with beautiful sounds which brought joy to the residents. It was lovely to watch the residents tapping their toes, smiling and swaying in their seats. https://t.co/NLf2f9O9oh
We had a great time at our Rocksteady gig this week. It was great to see the children perform with such confidence and to see the progress that they have made this year. The smiles on their faces say it all. @RSMusicSchool https://t.co/Ll5THfTQGu
