Welcome to Eden Park High School. Our ethos “To be the best you can be” underpins all that we do and it reflects the high aspirations that we hold for every child. We expect the best from everyone and at Eden Park High. You will see your child flourish and grow as they achieve their full potential. The well-being of every student is central to all that we do and our experienced and caring pastoral staff are committed to developing the whole child.
Our students are taught to aim high and they are supported by our highly qualified staff who deliver a first-class education through a bespoke and broad curriculum. Eden Park High School is part of the Education for the 21st Century (E21C) multi-academy trust.
We engage and inspire our students through an extensive enrichment program where students are encouraged to follow their interests and passions. Through this they also gain additional qualifications, building both their confidence and their portfolio.
At Eden Park High School we have no glass ceilings in any area of school life and expectations are of the highest order. Teaching students to trust in relationships and make positive choices in their behavior for the benefit of themselves and others is paramount in building our school community. We work together for success.
An outstanding academic education is only the first step in developing your child at Eden Park High. We offer a safe and happy community where our students discover who they are and where they want to go. With the right guidance and nurturing, there is no limit to where that could be.
We look forward to working with you and your child in partnership and welcoming you to contact us for more information.
The vision of Education for the 21st Century is to achieve educational transformation by growing a family of academies that share common principles, aims, and values.
We seek to provide a high-quality education focused on developing the gifts and talents of all learners and adults within the Trust and to give young people the qualifications, knowledge, personal skills, and personal competencies to become highly employable citizens who can take a leading role in 21st Century society.
We hold the highest expectations for every student and achievement on all levels is celebrated and rewarded. We set ambitious and challenging targets and support our students to enable them to reach the best of their ability.
Our staff place great value on developing high-quality relationships with the students and every student’s unique ability is nurtured. Our students are supported by their tutors who provide daily guidance ensuring students are equipped to manage all aspects of life, both in and out of school. We believe in our students and turn them have confidence in themselves.
The curriculum is broad and tailor-made so that every student is motivated and engaged. Learning pathways are carefully designed so that they meet all student’s needs and abilities. A busy child is a happy child and happiness leads to success. A student’s day will be full as they experience a wide range of subject areas, from Science to Performing Arts, from English to Modern Foreign Languages, from Creative Arts to Humanities.
Parents are a key factor in determining their child’s success in school. We look for mutual support and work with you to provide the right balance of help, comfort, and boundaries as and when they are needed for your children.
We uphold traditional values and teach our students the importance of hard work, perseverance, and courtesy. Excellent behavior for learning is central to the running of our school. Manners matter and uniforms are worn with pride. Our students respect each other’s views, recognize right from wrong, are socially adept, and respect and celebrate diversity.
Student leadership is strong and student's voice is encouraged through many schemes, including peer mentoring, school council, and a perfect system. Each student is valued as an individual and we work hard to ensure that their unique abilities are nurtured. Our students work in co-educational ability-based groups for most of their subjects. They also have the opportunity to experience mixed ability teaching and single-gender groupings when appropriate. Each student is stretched and challenged so that they can fulfill their full potential.
All students need to be fluent in literacy and numeracy. At Eden Park High, numeracy and literacy underpin all subjects to ensure that we are developing strong and courageous learners. We encourage all of our students to make positive differences to the whole community and encourage them to stand by their responsibilities and appreciate the contribution that they can make to society. Our students are committed to many community projects for which we are proud, including links with primary schools, care homes, and looking after the natural environment. Eden Park High joins together the traditions of the past with the exciting opportunities for the future.
Students need more than just excellent examination results to excel in the modern world. Your child will discover their passions and interests through our vast program of extra-curricular activities, supported by specialist and well-qualified staff. Students have the opportunity to flourish in an enriched curriculum which is made possible by our extended school day.
Activities include performing arts, sports, life skills, STEM activities, outdoor pursuits, educational visits, creative arts, and other exciting and inspiring experiences. Every student will spend a significant amount of time each day engaged in a valuable learning experience outside of the classroom to develop a lifelong love of learning. The curriculum is tailor-made, offering a range of pathways to every student. Through the enrichment program, they gain additional qualifications which build their self-confidence and gives them an “edge” when applying to higher education and employment.
