‘Our Planet’ Open Day: What to Expect

At St Edward’s Prep School & Nursery, we encourage children to use their creativity, ingenuity and love of learning to make a difference to our world and the environment. Our upcoming Open Day will explore how all of our pupils, from our youngest learners all the way up to Year 6, have discovered the importance of our planet through the curriculum and how they can have an impact on its future.

You’ll see lots of exciting activities showcasing how these vital topics are explored across the curriculum, supporting children’s personal development and growing their confidence. From building wildlife hotels and planting wildflowers, to launching sustainable businesses and presenting climate action pledges, all pupils are encouraged to discover their ability to make a positive contribution to the world.

A word from our Head:

I really look forward to meeting you at our Open Day where you’ll be able to tour the school with our friendly staff, talk to teachers and pupils about their work and find out more about our inspiring curriculum and welcoming school community.

This is such an important time in the educational world and I will be sharing a few words on how a St Edward’s education can help your child to be happy and successful in the future. Finally, and very importantly, you will be able to enjoy some delicious treats from our in-school catering team and sample some of the food our children get to enjoy on a daily basis.
