Edenhurst Prep School is situated in a leafy residential suburb of Newcastle-under-Lyme, a vibrant university town in North Staffordshire.
Edenhurst is conveniently placed between two major routes from the town out towards pleasant commuter villages. The area enjoys excellent cultural attractions, beautiful gardens and parks and the countryside is never far away.
The local economy is prospering with major ceramics manufacturers, such as Wedgwood, Churchill and Emma Bridgwater, along with multinational companies, such as JCB, Michelin and Bet365, taking advantage of the excellent road and rail links. Manchester and Birmingham are each an hour’s drive away, while London is just 90 minutes by train, and the School is within close proximity of Keele University and the Royal Stoke University Hospital.
The School is fully coeducational with around 170 pupils including a thriving Nursery which is open all year-round. The School’s buildings and facilities have developed steadily throughout its history and recent developments include a new Astroturf multi sports surface. There are dedicated rooms for IT, Art, French, Music, Science, and a Library. The School runs its own Holiday Club and wraparound care from 8am - 6pm.
Academic standards at the school are high, and for many years pupils have achieved scholarships and exam passes to a range of senior independent schools. The School prides itself on developing well rounded young people through delivery of its core values of Nurture, Inspire, Achieve. The most recent ISI Inspection (March 2017) rated the School as ‘Excellent’ and the Early Years provision as ‘Outstanding’.
Through being part of the Bellevue group, Edenhurst benefits from shared best practice and focused training programmes covering all aspects of education. The school also receives specialist support in the areas of educational advice, finance, human resources and marketing, enabling the Headteacher to focus on the most important aspects of their work: delivering an education which enables every child to reach their full potential.
