Highlights from Latest Inspection:
Description of the school St Edward’s is a popular and heavily oversubscribed school of above-average size. It is the choir school for the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King. While maintaining its long tradition of educating boy choristers, the college formed its first girls’ cathedral choir at the beginning of this academic year. In addition to choristers, 10% of pupils are admitted on the basis of musical talent. Although situated in an area of above-average social and economic advantage, the college draws pupils from a very wide area and range of backgrounds. The percentage of pupils eligible for free school meals is much lower than the national average. Almost all pupils are White British with small numbers from a range of minority ethnic heritages. A very small proportion speak English as an additional language but none are at the early stages of learning it. The proportion of pupils with learning difficulties and/or disabilities is well-below average while the percentage with a statement of special education needs is below average. The college is part of a collaborative with five local schools providing a range of courses for students in the sixth form. The college has received recognition as a high-performing specialist school and, in addition to its well-established work in languages and the performing arts, is participating in the Raising Achievement Transforming Learning programme. The college holds the Sportsmark and Artsmark. Key for inspection grades Grade 1 Outstanding Grade 2 Good Grade 3 Satisfactory Grade 4 Inadequate |
