Welcome to King Edmund Community School.

Choosing your child’s secondary school is such an important decision, one that cannot be left to chance. It is important that you are able to gather as much information as possible in order to make the ‘RIGHT CHOICE’. I firmly believe that in choosing King Edmund Community School you will be making the right choice, with the knowledge that we will ensure your child benefits from the very best quality learning experiences and opportunities that are available at our school. 

As our vision statement, “Aspiring to Excellence in a Supportive Learning Environment”, suggests, our focus is entirely on the development of the whole child. At King Edmund Community School we believe that young people have a right to a safe, happy, varied and challenging learning experience. Within this context, integrity, responsibility and respect are some of the personal qualities which we value from all members of our school community.

We aim to ensure that all students are given the opportunity to develop their individual talents and aptitudes, both within and beyond the classroom. The learning experience at King Edmund Community School is not just about success in the classroom. The school is a vibrant community that equips students with the best possible preparation for their future lives.  

Much has improved in the school during the past two years. Standards of achievement and an improved learning environment are just two aspects. The challenge for all of us is to ensure that these improvements are built upon, and ensure that we truly transform the educational provision for our young people in the years ahead. 

I thank you for sharing an interest in our school and I look forward to welcoming you and your child into our community.
