CO-EDUCATION

The first girls started at St Edward’s more than 40 years ago, and Teddies has been ahead of the trend towards co-education ever since. Co-education at Teddies is founded on the belief that young people need to live and learn alongside each other in diverse communities from an early age to ensure that they take mutual respect and understanding into adulthood. At St Edward’s, stereotypes are challenged and moderated, and pupils are encouraged by their shared experiences with their peers to follow their interests, wherever they may take them. Boarding houses at St Edward’s are single sex from the Shell (Year 9) to the Fifth Form (Year 11). Several Houses offer co-educational Sixth Forms, which provide excellent preparation for life at university.

‘ Co-education is the way forward: Teddies reflects the real world and there’s no mystery or awkwardness around the opposite sex. ’ A TEDDIES PARENT
