It is an independent, co-educational boarding and day school for students aged 3-18 and has a fine reputation for welcoming international scholars.

International students are accepted as full boarders from age 11 who all follow a full curriculum and are prepared for entry to UK universities alongside their British classmates.

St Edmund's runs its own summer school accommodating 180 students aged 10-17 offering a wide range of educational courses, visits and activities and preparation for IELTS and Trinity exams at B1 - C2 levels. The summer school is an ideal preparation for entry to UK boarding schools.
