St Edward's Prospectus 2024

St Edward’s, Oxford St Edward’s is a refreshingly different kind of school. Our deliberate approach of selecting young people based on their attitude and ambition means that the community fizzes with diverse interests and enthusiasms. Academic results are on a sharp upward trend, opening up countless opportunities for our pupils and allowing them to take up places at the world’s best universities. Academic work is unquestionably the most important part of our pupils’ education, but at Teddies there is so much more to school life. Talented scholars, musicians, sportswomen and men, performers, dancers, humanitarians, adventurers, entrepreneurs, filmmakers and artists – among many others – live and work together, inspire each other, and become lifelong friends. Opportunities at St Edward’s are greatly enhanced by the size of the campus and the outstanding facilities in all areas of school life. The new Christie Centre is a landmark academic building, complemented by the spectacular Olivier Hall for performances and events. Elsewhere, 100 acres of grounds, the high-specification Music School, The North Wall Arts Centre and the Nuffield Health Fitness and Wellbeing Gym mean that pupils have every opportunity to pursue their passions and interests. Plans for a major project to enhance the Field Side of the School, including the building of a new sport and community centre, are well underway and will create even greater opportunities for our pupils and for the local community. Beyond School, pupils enjoy being part of the wider community of Oxford, a beautiful, culturally sophisticated university city offering tangible connections to the wider world. It is an exciting and transformative combination.
