St Edward's is a large, thriving multi-cultural community with pupils who travel from a wide area to come to our school. Our strong Christian beliefs are reflected in the behaviour of our pupils who were described in our recent Ofsted as "very caring, friendly and respectful towards each other".

Our school is situated in a pleasant residential area and we are only a five minute walk from the centre of Romford, with direct transport links to London. We are lucky to have many excellent facilities on site, including a swimming pool and basketball court and the chidren are encouraged to take part in a wide range of extra-curricular activities.
