Head’s Blog: All I Want For Christmas
As we approach the final days of term and winter settles gently over Edenhurst, I find myself rocking into the school carpark with the radio turned up just a little too loud, singing along (enthusiastically, if not always tunefully) to Christmas classics. This week, one song in particular has taken up residence in my head:…
Pre-Prep Pupils Shine in Christmas Nativity
Our Kindergarten and Reception children took centre stage in this year’s Nativity performance, in which they retold the Christmas story with joy, plenty of sparkle and some ad-libbing! Supporting them was our wonderful Form 1 and Form 2 choir, whose clear voices and confidence brought the production to life. Their singing added depth and warmth…
Pupils Get Creative for Book Fair Poster Competition
This term, to help nurture a love of reading for pleasure, the Shool was delighted to host this year’s Book Fair. Children enjoyed exploring a wide range of books, sharing recommendations, and choosing new reads to take home. The Fair created a fantastic buzz around reading and also helped raise funds to support and enrich…
Staff Enjoy Festive Wreath-Making Workshop
As has become an annual tradition amongst staff at Edenhurst, we dedicated a staff meeting session to wellbeing and held a Christmas wreath-making or Advent candle table decoration workshop.

Celebrating Diversity and Belonging on Inclusion Day
We had a fantastic Inclusion Day at school! All our children and staff took part in a range of activities, from games and challenges to creative projects.

Pupil Blog: The Fun Christmas Tree Farm
On Monday 24th November my class, Prep 6, got to go to Keele Christmas Tree Farm. We had a splendid time. When we arrived, we saw the humongous Christmas tree at the entrance, then a member of staff came and greeted us. She gave us a sheet and a pencil to do the Elf Hunt….
Pupil Blog: Alice Charity Cereal Box Domino Drive
On Friday the 14th November there was a cereal box domino drive for Alice Charity in our school hall where members of the school community were invited to donate as many cereal boxes as they wanted (there were 59 in total). The day before the cereal box dominos we had a test run where we…
Head Pupil Blog: Remembrance Service
On the 11th of November we all gathered at St Giles’ church to honour all the brave soldiers who have fought for us in WW1 and WW2. They risked their lives for us and for this country, for its FREEDOM and this is how we started the Remembrance Service. I recited a beautiful poem – …
Head’s Blog: Moving with Purpose
Wow – what a start to the term! Six and a half weeks have flown by in a blur of learning, laughter, and community spirit. It has been a joy to see Edenhurst in full swing once again, and this first half term has reminded me just how special our school family truly is. We…
Head Pupil Blog: Prep 6 Residential to Condover Hall
We arrived at the legendary Condover Hall – it was mind-blowing! There were beautiful bushes and a dazzling mansion that was humongous. Our first activity was rock climbing. I was astonished that our really nice instructor said that nearly all the climbing walls at Condover Hall are 70m tall. After building up a big appetite…
