A MODERN EDUCATION

The academic culture at St Edward’s is dynamic and ambitious. Academic results are excellent and on an accelerating upward trend. Teachers are highly qualified, committed and kind. Classrooms are lively, interactive places where pupils discuss, debate and collaborate. Pupils are expected to work hard so that they have as many opportunities as possible open to them for the next stage of their education and beyond. Pupils’ academic ambitions are encouraged in every possible way. Working under the direction of the Housemasters and Housemistresses, Tutors support pupils in all aspects of their lives at Teddies, ensuring that they are fulfilling their academic ambitions, that they are making the most of the co-curricular opportunities available to them, and that the balance in their school lives supports their general wellbeing. Class sizes are small – around 18–20 in the Lower School and typically 8–10 in the Sixth Form. Overall, the pupil/teacher ratio is just over 6:1 so pupils are assured of exceptional academic guidance and pastoral support. With more than 25 subjects available and an element of choice at every stage of a pupil’s academic journey from the Shell to the Sixth Form, pupils can shape their academic programme to suit their interests and aspirations.
