TheKingEdmundSchool - 29 Jul 2026
Welcome to We are building a different kind of school.
A place where young people genuinely want to be. Where every student is known, listened to and valued. Where families are true partners, our community is at the heart of everything we do, and every day brings opportunities to inspire, challenge and create memories that last a lifetime. We take learning seriously, not ourselves.
Our Community News & Social
What does your future look like?
Our students have been busy exploring career possibilities through visits to Launchpad and Ipeco.
From hearing honest career stories and meeting local employers to touring advanced manufacturing facilities and tackling real workplace challenges, these experiences helped students discover new industries, build confidence and think differently about their futures.
Thank you to all the businesses and professionals who gave their time to support our students. Your insight and encouragement make a lasting impact.
🚀 Inspiring ambition. 🏭 Exploring industry. ⭐ Building future pathways.

Year 10 Coastal Fieldwork – Walton-on-the-Naze
We have had the pleasure of completing coastal fieldwork with our Year 10 students in Walton-on-the-Naze, this month. Blessed with beautiful weather, students worked incredibly hard collecting a wide range of data to support their learning.
We were particularly impressed by their behaviour, maturity and enthusiasm throughout the trip. They were excellent ambassadors for the school and represented us with pride.
A huge well done to all students involved for their hard work, resilience and positive attitude. We are incredibly proud of the way you approached the fieldwork and the effort you put into making it such a successful experience.

Headteacher’s Award Breakfast
Each term, one student from every year group is selected to receive the prestigious Headteacher’s Award, recognising their outstanding attitude, effort and contribution to school life.
As part of this special achievement, our award winners were invited to enjoy breakfast with Ms Ingate, providing a wonderful opportunity to celebrate their success and hear their voices.
Over breakfast, students shared their dreams and ambitions for the future, discussed what they enjoy most about school, and offered thoughtful ideas about how we can continue to improve. It was inspiring to hear their perspectives, aspirations and experiences.
These conversations are invaluable, helping Ms Ingate connect directly with students while ensuring their views help shape our school community.
A huge congratulations to all of our Headteacher’s Award winners this term – we are incredibly proud of you!
