OUR SCHOOL

Welcome to St Edward’s Church of England Primary School in Castle Donington. St Edward’s is a very special place for all.  Staff, governors, parents and carers work seamlessly together to create an inclusive, happy and successful school where all pupils flourish both socially and academically.

My vision for St Edward’s is to continue to develop the quality of teaching and learning and wider opportunities so that outcomes for pupils remain excellent. I want to ensure pupils leave St Edward’s secure in themselves, ready for the challenge of secondary school and excited about their place in the world and the possibilities that lie before them.

We have excellent academic and pastoral support and children achieve higher than national expectations. If you are looking for a school place for your child, then please come and visit so we can show you how your child can flourish with us.

Our school council met this week to discuss a range of ideas their classes have had. They'd like some litter pickers to help keep Castle Donington clean, they'd also like to run some lunchtime clubs and would like some fidget Fridays when they can bring toys in for break time.
Our Year 6s prepared and delivered an assembly on Diwali this week. They did a great job.
A team of Year 5s joined the Warm Welcome space the church host each Friday. They enjoyed supporting the local community in this way.
Today Year 4 and Year 5 had a visitor from the Leicester Hebrew Centre. They learned all about being a good Jewish citizen and had the opportunity to look at real religious artefacts. They particularly enjoyed the Dreidel Game! Thanks for visiting us!
