Saint Edmunds Catholic Primary School

Welcome to Saint Edmund’s Catholic Primary School, Calne. I am honoured to be the Headteacher of our faith-filled school in the heart of Calne. Saint Edmund’s Catholic Primary School is committed to providing the best education for all and we offer a creative and high-quality curriculum enabling children to learn and flourish through their work and play.

The school’s namesake, Saint Edmund, knew the importance of prayer, constantly encouraging the faithful, “I would rather say five words devoutly with my heart, than 5,000 which my soul does not relish with affection and intelligence.” It is with this simple approach to our relationship with God, that we encourage all children to strive for their best and be supportive of others in all their endeavours.

The school is surrounded by beautiful wooded and garden areas and the children are inspired by the natural world and are proud to be stewards of their school environment and out into the wider community.

The Friends of Saint Edmund’s (FOSE) is another of the school’s strengths. Not only do they help new families and new staff feel welcome, they also support the school directly. Members of FOSE devote their time to fundraising as well as organising a vibrant programme of events supported by the school staff and FOSE volunteers.

We would be delighted to meet with you and your child, if you would like to find out more about our vibrant, inclusive community. Please take a look around our website and feel free to call the office to book a visit.

God Bless
