iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).On behalf of the children, staff and governors, may we welcome you to our school. Edgware is a very diverse, safe, welcoming and nurturing school which provides an inclusive learning environment built on mutual respect and trust. We are proud to have and celebrate families who have a wealth of diverse and cultural backgrounds- we embrace equality and inclusion.
We believe in providing high quality education, preparing our children with skills for life and encouraging them to be well rounded individuals who are respectful, kind and tolerant of others. We are an accredited Thinking School.
We place a large emphasis on critical thinking and independent learning and provide our pupils with the skills, knowledge and understanding necessary for them to succeed now and into the future. We are a Trauma informed School.
Our staff team is committed to providing a secure, happy and calm environment in which all children are able to thrive socially, emotionally and academically. Every child matters and our caring ethos is at the heart of everything we do. We seek to nurture the "whole child". We understand how to support children who may have experienced a range of trauma.
