Our Stories Your support to St Edward’s in your will could help a pupil like Josh, Armela, Reuben, Annabel or Ferdi whose lives have been transformed by their time at Teddies.

Ferdi Studying Mechanical Engineering at Bristol University I was at a comprehensive school before Teddies. It was a great school, but there weren’t many

people in my class who actually wanted to work hard. It was easier to go with the flow and not push myself to do the best I could.

When I came to Teddies, I found the pace of work exhilarating: I studied Latin and Greek for the first time. I was appointed Captain of Rugby in my final year and the feeling of leading the team out onto Upper One to play intense, competitive rugby against some of the most famous schools in England will stay with me for the rest of my life and I shall always be grateful. I am now studying mechanical engineering at Bristol, and I am also proud to have been accepted onto the Mercedes Formula1 industrial placement year starting in July. (SING’S, 2015-2020)

Annabel Graduated from Durham University with a first and currently working as a marketing executive at FE Fundinfo Teddies gave me so many opportunities to become involved in many aspects of school life: acting, rowing, being a member of the Choir and the Close Harmony group, the Combined Cadet Force – and eventually I became Head of School. I shall always be grateful for the support of the Teddies community who helped make it happen. My Teddies friends will be friends for life. (CORFE, 2014-2019)

Reuben Studying at the University of Birmingham

I feel very lucky to have been given the chance to come to St Edward’s where there are so many opportunities. I really enjoyed the House community and the way you become like a family with the rest of the people in your House. (FIELD HOUSE, 2020-2022)
