TISUK Accreditation

We are very proud to have been awarded Trauma-Informed School Status in June 2026, becoming one of only two secondary schools in England to achieve this recognition.

Feedback from the accreditation process

"Trauma-informed and relational practice is contributing positively to pupil wellbeing, engagement, inclusion and the overall culture of the school, whilst also strengthening staff confidence, professional development and collective efficacy."

"Trauma-informed principles are evident within decision-making, professional development, pastoral systems and everyday interactions, creating coherence between the school's values and its practice."

"St Edmund's has established a strong culture of psychological safety and belonging."

"The school's Catholic ethos provides a strong foundation for its trauma-informed approach. Values of dignity, compassion, inclusion and service were evident in discussions with leaders, staff, governors and pupils. The emphasis placed on the development of the whole child ensures that success is viewed through a broad lens that values wellbeing, belonging, personal growth and contribution alongside academic achievement."
