Your Future
The St Edmund’s school journey is a learning experience for life, something to enjoy, and a means to a highly specific end – the right next destination for each pupil. Pupils’ intellectual appetites, capacity to think creatively and strong A-level results mean that they are attractive to top universities in the UK and internationally.
I’m so pleased to be awarded a Royal Navy Scholarship and to further develop the skills I’ve learnt in the St Edmund’s CCF. I look forward to this first step in my career post St Ed’s, and I can’t wait for all the opportunities ahead in the Royal Navy.
