The school is voluntary aided and supported by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Plymouth and the Anglican Diocese of Salisbury. We are a Humanities Specialist School.  Our Mission Statement defines our core values and aims. A Covenant signed by the Bishops of both our Dioceses describes how we aim to function as a joint church school. St. Edward's is an ideal size for a comprehensive school with 1084 students on roll including our sixth formers.
