St Edward's Prospectus 2024

Beyond Teddies Oxford as a city is important to St Edward’s, but so too are the people who make up our local community. Being at the heart of a city means that our pupils stay in touch with real life. They run activities for primary school children and support local charities such as the Oxfam Superstore and Oxford Gatehouse, a drop-in centre for vulnerable adults. They play music for the elderly in local care homes and take part in public events such as marshalling the Oxford Half Marathon or assisting with canalside and city clean-ups. A pioneering new initiative, Teddies Collaborates, provides dedicated space in the timetable for every Lower Sixth pupil to work once a week for a year in a community partnership with a local school, charity or organisation. Learning to work alongside people from a wide range of backgrounds and discovering the value of contributing to society are integral parts of a St Edward’s education.
