St Edmund's is a thriving, positive and happy environment where individuals achieve excellent levels of personal development.   The students and staff recognize the importance of the school's Catholic and Christian education and are committed to it in every way.

Working with students we aim to foster a growth and commitment to the love and service of Christ through the teachings of the Catholic Church.

As a Christ-centered learning community we have a passion for developing the individual God given gifts with which we are bestowed.  We know all our students individually and work with them to nurture their unique sets of talents in a happy and supportive environment rooted in a genuine spirit of care which is present in a Christian family.

The start to term has been and gone and seems a distant memory now. Each new year always brings enormous change, especially for students starting in Year 7. However, I have been very impressed with their confidence, positivity and the ease in which they have started to settle into the St Edmund’s family. We must not forget that all year groups and individuals face their own challenge as they ‘move up’ and experience change. This is especially true for students in Year 10 and 11, where expectations, focus and demands on individuals are extremely high.

Last summer’s GCSE results were once again considerably above national averages and the School remains the best performing school within Portsmouth and nearby Hampshire. What that really means is that our children out performed others which allows them to go on to access good college courses that they want to study. They also leave as extremely well rounded individuals with a strong inner spirituality.
