"Outstanding Education and Facilities"

We were blown away by the facilities at St Edmund's College, from the sports fields to the arts centre. Our daughter has flourished under the caring and supportive teachers and we're so grateful for the strong values she's developing. The Co-Curricular Period 7 programme is a unique selling point and our daughter is thriving in her passion for drama. We feel like we've found a home for our children.

"Good Experience but Room for Improvement"

We've had a good experience with St Edmund's Prep so far, but there are a few areas that need improvement. The teachers are generally supportive, but sometimes it feels like they're not listening to parents' concerns. The facilities are lovely, but the playground equipment is a bit outdated. Overall, it's a good school, but I'd like to see more attention to detail.

"Excellent Leadership and Community"

As a former parent, I can attest to the outstanding leadership at St Edmund's College. The Headmaster is passionate about creating a supportive and inclusive community and it shows in every aspect of the school. My children loved the boarding experience and the opportunities they had outside of the classroom. We're so grateful for the education they received.
