At Edwards Hall, we aim to provide an engaging learning environment where children are challenged to think deeply and creatively, so that they become articulate, motivated, life-long learners who are able to display tenacity in the face of challenges. We aim to facilitate a culture of deep thinking, where knowledge is retained and can be applied to new challenges; give children a rich and varied cultural provision so that they are advantaged in the wider world and prepare them well for the next stages in their education and wider life.
