The Impact of our Partnership work

Our location is one of the many great strengths of St Edward’s, enabling us to play a central role in working with many charities, state schools and organisations in North Oxford and the surrounding area. These partnerships enable us to extend the social and cultural education provided within the School gates and offer service-led leadership opportunities within organisations who gain from our support. Our programme of Partnership and Service is central to a Teddies education. Our Partnership programme can be divided into the following areas:

Teddies Collaborates All of the Lower Sixth work with external charities, schools and organisations at least once a week for 90 minutes throughout the year. These placements, combined with a training programme, enable pupils to learn the value of service to others and broaden their life skills to bring tangible benefits to the wider community.

Partnerships We strive to create what we regard as true partnerships within which both parties benefit and achieve a relationship that is strategic and moves forward with thought, authenticity and purpose. Charitable Activities St Edward’s has a long standing ethos of supporting

local schools. Many of our staff offer their time and expertise to assist local organisations through governorship, as trustees, or by contributing HR, communications, finance or fundraising knowledge.

the School community, we open up our facilities to our charitable friends and neighbours and educational workshops, lectures and sporting events are provided for

“The relationship with St Edward’s is invaluable to our students, some of the most vulnerable in our society do not always have the opportunities to mix with others outside of school due to their additional needs. What St Edward’s has been able to provide has widened our pupils’ view of the community and the people that surround them.” BEX HOLMES | HEAD OF SCHOOL, NORTHERN HOUSE ACADEMY
