Impact Statement

The East Kent Schools Together (EKST) project, enables 5 state schools and one university to collaborate with independent schools, including St. Edmund's. We are able to share resources and effect change through a student voice. This project has been well received and facilitates teacher swaps, departmental cluster meetings and student-led study skills sessions and debating sessions.
Momentum has been increased since last year and the partnership goes from strength to strength.
