My name is Joanne Kennett. I am very proud to be the Head Teacher of St Edwards Catholic Primary School with its wonderful children, hardworking staff, supportive governing body and all within a beautiful setting and extensive grounds. The school has excellent links with St Edwards Catholic Church.
Father Denis is our parish priest who celebrates our Masses and is also governor of our school. He works closely with us to guide the children on their spiritual journey. We collaborate with the Tolkien Cluster of Catholic Schools whilst working closely with Kings Norton Consortium of local schools. As a Catholic school we are part of the Catholic Archdiocese of Birmingham.
