Diversity, opportunity and preparation makes the world feel so much more accesible.
Our approach to supporting the growth of our pupils is quite simple. Every pupil is noticed, not merely seen… is listened to, not just heard… is empowered, not simply enabled. We know that success, however big or small, breeds confidence, and confidence in turn fuels motivation, effort and ultimately outcomes. Through ongoing support, guidance and feedback, we empower pupils to take responsibility for their own learning and to take risks within it, to find greater independence though critical thinking and analysis, to develop strong presentation, communication, teamwork and leadership skills and to find their voice and use it well. We lay the groundwork for pupils to travel through life with skill and confidence, thinking deeply and listening well.
At King Edward’s our global outlook and individualised approach is reassuring and life changing. We provide the warmth and space for dynamic and ambitious learning within a community that is proud to be kind, unprejudiced and worldly wise in its finest contemporary sense. Our school succeeds in combining academic ambition with a wealth of socially and emotionally enriching opportunities, all underpinned by a deep commitment to the needs and enthusiasms of each pupil.
Resilient, pragmatic and honest
Throughout their school journey and indeed every stage of life, our pupils will be faced with challenges, triumphs and inevitable disappointments. Underpinned by values of kindness and authentic connection, we develop critical ‘human’ skills alongside academic learning, putting great emphasis on fostering positive relationships, open communication, and an agile mindset. We know that each of us will experience many moments when we will need to dig deep; remain humble and empathetic in the face of challenge, to be resilient through pressure and disappointment and to be able to reflect on ourselves and others with kindness and honesty in order to grow.
We support pupils in their understanding of the principles and values that will shape their lives and how they choose to present and conduct themselves beyond school life. We are here to help them on that journey from their first day at King Edward’s and far into their futures.
