St. Edward's CE Primary School - ENGLAND

OUR SCHOOL

St. Edward's CE Primary School has 320 pupils aged between 4 and 11. We have 14 classes in our school. Take a look at our website http://www.stedwardsce.rochdale.sch.uk/

We are an Eco School and we have had a Green Flag since 2000. We work hard to look after our environment by recycling, composting waste, saving energy, reducing the amount of water we use. We have solar panels in our school and a mini wind turbine. We have a vegetable garden were we grow our own vegetables for our school kitchen and we use a worm composting system to compost our kitchen waste. We have lots of animals in our school too. We have guinea pigs, rabbits, a chinchilla, hens and a pond with fish.

We are excited to find out about other festivals in Europe and tell you about some of the festivals we celebrate in England too!

WHERE WE LIVE

Our school is situated in a town called Rochdale. Rochdale is a large market town in Greater Manchester, situated in the Northwest of England. Follow this link to take a look at some photographs of Rochdale and to find out more information.
