St Edward's provides opportunities for pupils to make progress academically when they may have been excluded and without education as a consequence of their behaviour difficulties in other settings. 

We offer the full National Curriculum for boys from Year 6 to the end of Year 9. A modified curriculum from Key Stage 4 enables pupils to follow GCSE courses in English, Mathematics, Science, RE, PE, Art and Design, Design Technology and valuable pre-vocational courses in Horticulture, Brickwork and Painting and Decorating. 

Courses leading to BTEC qualifications in Outdoor Education and Skills for Independent Living are offered in Year 12, combined with work experience day release placements tailored to meet pupils' personal preferences and interests. A range of educational field trips supplements the curriculum at all age levels, enabling pupils to pursue curriculum interests beyond the classroom.

A positive behaviour system encourages pupils to accumulate points through their work each week in school. Points-related activity programmes encourage boys to seek greater involvement in the wide array of activities on offer.
