Teddies 2030 100 ACRES OF DISCOVERY AND OPPORTUNITY

A t St Edward’s, you’ll remember that we aim to prepare young people for lives of purpose. Now, we are launching Teddies 2030, a bold vision for the next five years that will open doors and create spaces where every pupil can thrive. From their first day in the Shell,Teddies pupils discover a school built on choice, challenge, and exploration. Our Pathways and Perspectives programme complements GCSEs, while the Sixth Form offers 39 subjects across IB and A Level. Every pupil has the freedom to follow their passions, whether in science labs or on sports fields, working in creative studios or engaged in entrepreneurial projects. Teddies 2030 is the next step. As more pupils gravitate toward science, technology, and engineering, and as nearly equal numbers of boys and girls play across more than 22 learning is an adventure! Curiosity drives us. Character shapes us. And together, A School that Matches Ambition

sports, our campus must develop to meet their energy and ambition.

Spaces that Inspire Bold Thinking

On Quad side, the reimagined and expanded Physical Sciences Centre will be a hub for curiosity and collaboration. Modern laboratories and shared innovation spaces will bring Physics and Chemistry together, reflecting how science is explored in the real world. Pupils will experiment, discover, and connect learning to life beyond school through our exciting new academic, sporting and cultural partnerships. On Field side, the Field of Dreams will enable sport to continue to thrive. New outdoor pitches, an athletics track, and a state-of-the-art indoor sports centre will give every pupil – whether first-time runner or elite athlete – the chance to test themselves, build confidence, and enjoy the thrill of teamwork as many of you did. These facilities don’t just enrich school life – they foster friendships, build resilience, develop community connections and also enable Teddies to increase its commercial income, helping us to try to keep fees as accessible as we can.
