School Development

The Edenhurst Edge

Our vision is to equip children with the necessary skills and attributes to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

We want them to have the ‘Edenhurst Edge’ – that little bit extra that sets them above their peers.

At  Edenhurst children can take pride in their individuality, and build their confidence and passion for learning. We develop their ability to embrace all the challenges they may encounter in later life.

Children become confident and adaptable risk takers, supported by specialist teachers.

We maintain the tradition of promoting Courtesy, Honesty, Respect and Endeavour in our pupils.

We work closely with parents to make our school feel like a ‘home away from home’ for our children.

We focus on what we do differently at Edenhurst and the choice that we offer parents in preparing their children for the next stage of their education.

Development Plan 2024-25 Priorities

Edenhurst Preparatory School continually undertakes a series of activities to evaluate its provision. Included within this are contributions from staff, pupils, parents and the governing body, the findings of which are incorporated into a School Development Plan.

Over the course of 2024-25, we shall be focusing on three key areas which are aligned with our mission and will support our vision.

The three key areas are:

Operation “Paint the Town Purple”

Foster a truly inclusive environment for all members of the school community

Building strong foundations for success

To build and embed a school wide culture that actively encourages all stakeholders to play a part in expanding and strengthening our school community

Continue to enhance and embed our culture of community and belonging

Following on from last year’s whole school QUESTIONING focus, this year we will concentrate upon concepts and learning attitudes relating to the successful application of INSTRUCTION and MODELLING techniques. This will be achieved through the lens of CODEv2.0*.

  • 4.1 Pupils benefit from clear and salient explanations, exemplifications or modelling, scaffolding and checking for understanding.
  • 4.2 Pupils can clearly articulate what success looks like and can demonstrate this independently in a range of learning contexts.

*CODE (Challenge, Ownership, Dialogue and Engagement) is a Bellevue programme for all schools within the group.  Its aim is to develop pupils so they are confident, resilient, curious, entrepreneurial and innovative in their learning and attitudes.
