Runnymede St Edward’s, established in 1938, is a school deeply rooted in history and inspired by the Gospel values of Blessed Edmund Rice. As part of a global network of Edmund Rice schools, we are committed to education that serves others, particularly those most in need. Our warm and welcoming community—children, staff, governors and parents alike—embodies our motto, ‘Inspire, Challenge and Support through Faith’, which underpins all aspects of school life. We encourage curiosity, reflection and a love of learning, while maintaining exceptionally high expectations so that every child takes pride in their achievements and strives to fulfil their potential. We are proud to provide a rich, stimulating and inclusive education from Reception onwards, where children are valued as individuals and supported to become confident, independent learners. Staff and governors work together to deliver a challenging, cross-curricular curriculum rooted in the Edmund Rice ‘8 Essentials’, enhanced by themed days, enquiry-led learning, trips, community involvement and a wide range of extracurricular opportunities. At Runnymede St Edward’s, children are nurtured in faith, inspired by learning and equipped with the skills, resilience and self-belief needed for future life.
