History

Main Entrance

St Edmund's School Canterbury was first established in 1749 as the Clergy Orphan Society in Yorkshire. In 1812 the School moved to St John's Wood at the nursery end of Lord's Cricket Ground. The sister school for girls was on the same site, but later moved to become St Margaret's School, Bushey in Hertfordshire. In 1855, the School came to its present location overlooking the cathedral city of Canterbury.

The school is located at the top of St Thomas' Hill, Canterbury, the site and building being paid for by Doctor Samuel Warneford; the chapel was completed in 1858. The main school building was designed by noted architect Philip Charles Hardwick (1822–1892), whose grandmother had been born in Canterbury.

In 1972 the choristers of Canterbury Cathedral joined the Junior School as the Choir House. In 1982 girls were admitted to the school. The first female Head of St Edmund’s School, Mrs Louise Moelwyn-Hughes, formerly a Deputy Head at The Perse School, Cambridge, will take up the post in September 2011.
