BRAND NEW FACILITIES

You’re really lucky to be joining St Edward’s this year as you’ll be among the first pupils to make use of the stunning new Christie Centre which opened last year. The three-storey building features the university style Roe Reading Room on the top floor (above), the bright, modern Oxley Library on the first floor, designed for group work and discussion; and Willows café on the ground floor providing an alternative workspace. There are break-out spaces for group work and individual study decks for quiet study. Alongside is the magnificent Olivier Hall that can seat the whole school, and is a wonderful venue for concerts, performances, debating and many other events. You may find that the way we work at Teddies is different to your previous school. At Teddies, we work together a great deal. We discuss things, present our research to each other and work on projects together. The Christie Centre is specially designed for this modern way of working. Don’t worry if this isn’t what you’re used to – everyone will be in the same boat and you will be able to learn new ways of working alongside all your new friends.
