Our Ethos

Our long history means that tradition plays its part in shaping our character at Edge Grove.

Edge Grove pupils are independent, have an adventurous spirit, good manners, respect for others and are resilient. It is these values that provide a strong foundation on which to build our future. Innovation and creativity flourish and help to define Edge Grove as a truly forward thinking school.

Success, both collectively and on an individual level, is our motivation.  Our academically rigorous and dynamic curriculum challenges and supports all pupils.

We are proud of our Christian heritage whilst embracing the religious and cultural differences of all children and families. Our community of pupils and their families is extended into the local area and those we help support through national and international charities.
