Over recent months, much thought has been given to our key educational
priorities, as we seek to enhance every aspect of our provision. High quality
academics, committed pastoral care and excellent co-curricular opportunities
form the cornerstones of that ambition. When a pupil moves on from Edgeborough,
they will do so with a legacy of experience, knowledge, curiosity and the
confidence to successfully navigate their onward journey. It is important that
we remain focused on the fact that great schools are grown by what is achieved
in and outside the classroom; the quality of teaching, breadth of opportunity
and strength of community. Pupils learn best when they can actively interact
with their learning, developing skills which can transfer across subject areas
and when the enormous benefits of learning beyond the immediate classroom
setting are realised. Our commitment to deliver this vision is unwavering and
there is a great sense of excitement as we set our compass to make further
progress. For such depth of ambition there is also a need to ensure that we have
the appropriate infrastructure to support our educational vision. Consequently,
we have commissioned a detailed analysis of current facilities against future
requirements. Although new buildings will be introduced where appropriate, the
aim is to redevelop existing spaces where possible and to minimise new
construction. This approach significantly reduces disruption on the site and
allows for projects to remain cost-effective and environmentally sustainable.
Having an infrastructure plan to support our educational vision ensures that we
avoid piecemeal developments over the coming years, which could otherwise result
in a poorly considered future site. It also allows us to prioritise key
developments based on cost, condition and need. With the repurposing of some
existing spaces certain projects will need to be prioritised to allow space for
subsequent developments to take place. The rate that proposed projects are
delivered depends on the future performance of the School, the wider economic
climate and the required planning consents. Our highly experienced Leadership
Team and Governing Board will work with ambition balanced with measure.
Excitingly, this summer has already seen the full refurbishment of five Senior
Block classrooms, spaces designed specifically for modern teaching and learning.
Plans are also already in progress for the next phase of works. This is a
tremendously exciting time to be part of the Edgeborough community as we work
with our Charterhouse partners to take our ambitious plans forward. There will
be plenty of opportunity to talk things through further over th
