St. Edward's Junior School is an independent co-educational Catholic school in Cheltenham, England welcoming pupils of all denominations from 2.5 to 11 years old.
The majority of pupils move on to St. Edward's School, Cheltenham, although a significant number now gain entry to Pate's Grammar School and other selective local schools.
As a day school St Edward's occupies a 'niche' market in the predominantly boarding school environment in Cheltenham.
The school prides itself on being open, friendly and family orientated. The current headmaster Mr T J Mooney is a past pupil of St. Conleth's College, Dublin and also a graduate of Trinity College, Dublin. He has introduced a number of innovations but has also strengthened some of the more traditional aspects of the school. St Edward's Junior School has been recently inspected and was described as 'A good school with a significant number of outstanding aspects that is also very effectively led'. The school has been recently recognised as an Investor in People organisation.
Independent education in Cheltenham is quite congested with an abnormally rich provision of choice for parents. St Edward's Junior School has fought for its place and now boasts a school roll of over 400 pupils. The school motto is 'Quantum Potes Aude' or 'Dare To Do Your Best'.
History
St Edward's Junior School was founded in 1987. The school occupies the site of what was Whitefriar's Grammar School. Whitefriars was an all boys school run by the Carmelite Fathers. During its short history (1959-1987) it had an excellent reputation as a rugby playing school. It produced a number of international caps and Oxford and Cambridge blues. The school had close links with London Irish Rugby Club and Tom Kiernan trained regularly on the school training grounds. There were also close links with Terenure College in Dublin. This tradition of sporting excellence lives on in St Edward's Junior School.
