Ethos of St Edward's School, Oxford

Founded in 1863, St Edward's is a co-educational boarding and day school set in 100 green acres of Oxford. The School prepares pupils for entry into leading universities around the world and for fulfilling adult lives. They achieve at the highest level across academic work, sports and the arts. Pupils join St Edward's from across the UK and beyond to live and learn together in a thriving university city – forming a community characterised by its ambition, kindness, and togetherness.

Underlying everything at St Edward's is the school's mission to prepare their pupils for the rest of their lives by encouraging their passions and talents, enabling them to discover new ones and supporting them to achieve their own potential.

St Edward's is fully co-educational and offers both IB and A Level at Sixth Form. The Middle School programme has been enriched with new optional courses, designed to stretch candidates at GCSE level. The original Victorian quad has recently been added to with the Christie Centre, a suite of modern and flexible classroom and study spaces topped with the collegiate-style Roe Reading Room, and the 1,000 seater Olivier Hall.

Immaculately-tended sports fields are host to an exciting fixtures list – Upper 1, used for cricket, football and rugby, is flanked by a John Pawson-designed pavilion and the school Boathouse sits on the bank of the Thames with views towards Oxford's dreaming spires.

One of the few boarding schools in the UK to be lucky enough to be part of a vibrant university city, the school makes the most of its location – pupils have access to lectures from world-class academics and opportunities to explore the city's colleges, museums and theatres.
