Our ETHoS
At King Edward's we believe our role is to help support children to achieve their goals. We recognise that at times in all of our lives challenges and difficulties can arise that affect our well being, and subsequently our performance.
It is at these times that we believe it is the role of the school to be pro-active in supporting individuals by helping them to get to the finishing line: even if we have to carry them some of the way.
Our mentoring base
Encouraging Excellence, Nurturing Talent
Why Encouraging Excellence, Nurturing Talent? Quite simply we believe that we get the best from pupils when we have a positive, supportive and calm atmosphere.
Many parents have commented that the atmosphere around the school is quite relaxed. This is one of the unique features of King Edward's and something we are exceptionally proud of. In the vast majority of cases adults and children work together and relationships are natural, not forced.
Putting it into practice
Misson statements are all good and well but are useless if they aren't put into practice. So how do we try to achieve our goals?
A good induction system at Year 7 and Year 12
A comprehensive support system provided by our Heads of Year, who each look after a Year Group, monitoring academic performance, and personal matters.
PAs for each Head of Year so that the Head of Year can focus on children and not on administration and paperwork.
Senior Tutors in the Sixth Form who work like Heads of Year but look after a much smaller group of students and are focused on monitoring
academic performance.
Peer Mentors Sixth Formers and other pupils who give up their time to mentor and support younger members of our community.
A general expectation amongst staff and pupils that we are here to help one another achieve our goals.
Regular lunchtime workshops and afterschool drop in clinics to support childrens' learning.
Effective use of data to underpin close and regular monitoring of performance.
