School Profile

Edge Grove is a family school, founded in 1935, set in 28 acres of grounds and surrounded by 130 acres of farmland. The 18th-Century buildings are complemented by recently constructed teaching classrooms, including purpose-built science laboratories, and a new pre-prep and sports hall. The grounds support extensive gardens, a heated swimming pool, tennis courts, croquet lawns, spinneys and a lake.

Edge Grove has a happy, caring environment and one in which girls and boys can enjoy the process of growing up in beautiful, safe surroundings. The headmaster, his family and half the staff live on the campus, giving rise to a close-knit community where manners and respect for others are of paramount importance.

Boys and girls are prepared for the 11+ (girls) and 13+ (boys/girls) Common Entrance examinations. Over 40 scholarships have been gained in the last two years to most of the major public schools including Eton, Harrow, Haileybury and Cheltenham Ladies' College. The average class size is 15 pupils. The staff of 48 are well qualified and make excellent use of the facilities, which include two ICT laboratories, two art rooms, two fully kitted-out science
laboratories as well as specialist teaching rooms for the other curriculum subjects.

Music and Drama: Over 90% of pupils play a musical instrument and eighteen full music scholarships have been gained to major public schools since 2002. There are three choirs and five orchestras/bands. Last year the school produced highly successful productions of 'Bugsy Malone' and 'Honk'. Sport and Activities: All major sports are run and excellence is encouraged. Up to eleven boys' teams and six girls' teams are run in the major sports, and the School also offers archery (County Champions 2006), squash, golf, tennis, athletics, cross-country running, skiing and swimming. The sporting programme is backed up by an extensive activities programme. The School participates in a French exchange programme and runs an expedition week for all year groups in the summer term.
