How Is Your Mental Health?
How are you really? How is your mental health? More importantly, how do you know? This is not a blog based on any kind of science, which as a Science teacher is a bit strange. This is based purely on my own experience. If you ask Google which are the most stressful jobs in the…
Mental Health at Edenhurst
Mental Health at Edenhurst I have always taken a huge interest in other people. Perhaps I’m simply very nosy but I genuinely believe that understanding others enables me to better interact, and where necessary, support them. As such, I started my career by reading Education and Psychology at the University of Wales, Cardiff. With the…
Remembrance Day
Remembrance Day Classes across the whole school have been busy making and creating ‘Poppies’ for our annual display. The display aims to show our ‘Pride’ as a school in remembering those that we owe so much to, as we celebrate ‘Remembrance Day’. There’s an array of responses. Most of the individual poppies have been made…

The Importance of Being Eden
The importance of being Eden Edenhurst has always been renowned for the way we prepare children for secondary schools. Over the past few weeks I have received wonderful feedback from the heads of senior schools now attended by our lovely Prep 6, the class of 2021. This is something that we perhaps take for granted…
End of term round up
