St Edmund's College — campus and grounds

St Edmund's College & Prep School is a co-educational Catholic school for just north of London and near to Cambridge. Our 450 acre rural campus ensures a safe and healthy environment for young students to live and work in, situated just 20 minutes away from both London Stansted and Luton airports, and around one hour from London Heathrow Airport.

We provide the full curriculum studying GCSE/IGCSE and A Level (as well as a three-year A Level with an EAL-led foundation year in year one). On average, 90% of our A Level students gain entrance to their first choice university. Overseas pupils make up around 10-12% of the total student body.

As such, they are fully integrated into mainstream classes from day one, whilst enjoying the offered by EAL classes across the curriculum and at no extra cost.

St Edmund's College — on-site facilities

Boarding is in twin bedrooms for students in Years 7 to 11 (ages 11 to 16) or in single rooms for students studying A Levels in Years 12 and 13. Our boarding students also enjoy a diverse social and activities programme. We are a proud Catholic school but the majority of our students (around two-thirds) come from either another faith or non-faith backgrounds.

We are a strongly values-focused community, 'proposing' the Catholic faith and its teachings to our students rather than 'imposing' it upon them. What the school is known for? People make St Edmund's what it is. We recognise that, and the early College was grown around a clear vision - to provide a strong spiritual and academic foundation for young people and minds.
