The Friends

The Friends of St Edward’s was set up to help provide a social community for all those linked to Teddies – including the families of pupils, past and present, staff and friends of the school. We are run by a Committee of staff and parents, with ‘Reps’ for each House, who create events and initiatives promoting a sense of community across St Edward’s.

The Friends organise both in-person and virtual events throughout the year, providing an opportunity for both UK-based and overseas parents to get to know each other and the School. House Reps also organise House-specific coffees, so you can socialise with other parents in your child’s House.

Most of the bigger Friends events are organised to coincide with the start of an Exeat or Leave Weekend, so that those who live further away can fit them around a trip to Oxford to pick up pupils.
