St Edmund's School Canterbury

St Edmund's is a distinctive and historic boarding and day school for boys and girls aged 13 – 18 that provides a lively, challenging education in a nurturing environment. Academic standards are set high and there are many inspiring opportunities in music, drama and art as well as strong sporting traditions in cricket, tennis, hockey and football.

St Edmund’s Senior School excels at preparing young men and women for university and beyond, encouraging them to aim for the very highest standards both academically and on the extra-curricular front. Our pupils are responsive, intelligent and creative individuals who relish a challenge and set their sights high. Excellent results at GCSE and A-level place St Edmund’s Senior School as one of the most successful schools in the country, while our extra-curricular programme is broad and varied, encompassing elements of fun, challenge and service for all. We offer GCSE, A-level and AQA Baccalaureate qualifications, alongside comprehensive university and careers advice. The majority of our pupils leave St Edmund’s to attend top universities and conservatoires, and are well rounded, interesting and determined individuals. Boarding at St Edmund’s (on a weekly, flexi or full basis) offers a family experience in a stimulating environment where the individual is valued. Located on a large, beautiful site overlooking the vibrant city of Canterbury, the school benefits from excellent transport links to London and operates a minibus service for pupils living outside of Canterbury and in London.
