Visit websiteAbout St Edmund's School Trust Limited
St Edmund's School Trust Limited is a prominent educational charity based in the Surrey Hills, overseeing a small family of independent schools. Traditionally known for its namesake co-educational school in Hindhead, the Trust expanded its remit in late 2024 through a merger with St Hilary’s School in Godalming. The group is dedicated to providing a "child-centred" educational journey from nursery through to GCSE, combining academic rigour with strong pastoral traditions. By maintaining the individual identities of its member schools, the Trust offers a stable, non-selective alternative to larger corporate school groups, focusing on "Education for a Lifetime" within a charitable framework.
