Welcome to Queen Edith Primary School, part of the Queens’ Federation
Queen Edith is a large thriving primary school and nursery situated in the south of Cambridge city. We have a diverse catchment area and have many families from abroad (speaking 45 languages at the last count!). Queen Edith is partnered in a federation with Queen Emma, which is a 5 minute walk away. It is led by one headteacher, senior leadership team and governing body with representation from both schools.

Visions & Values
As an inclusive, welcoming and caring school, where every child matters, we recognise that all of our pupils have strengths and skills to celebrate. Part of our role is to help each pupil discover and develop these. Our school values, based on the ‘7 Habits of Effective People’ by Stephen Covey enable us to create a strong community spirit, where we can all grow in a supportive learning environment. Through the use of all of these values, we can all be the best that we can be.

The children researched someone who fought in the war or remembered someone they know from being involved in war. They then wrote a message to share with each other and reflect on their own experiences, thoughts and feelings. https://t.co/48SWe6j1ps

Year 3 had a wonderful trip yesterday to Hall Farm, Bury St Edmunds as part of our ‘Growing in East Anglia’ topic. We got to see how potatoes, onions and wheat are grown and harvested and we are very grateful to the Farmers for their time and generosity, for the “BEST trip EVER!” https://t.co/TiNWmBFmqG

Year 3 have been learning about the rock cycle. We used starburst sweets today to mimic the processes that happen over millions of years between sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rock. https://t.co/L4ZPmcHgkD

Year 3 are making progress with the seeds we planted before the holidays! We looked after them carefully and today we potted them out to give their roots a bit more room. https://t.co/qrGljGU3mo

Laura and Adrian spent the afternoon doing drama with us last Friday! We tracked down lost hunter-gatherer tribe members through a blizzard using bullroarers and sneakily stole eggs from the giant terror bird! An exhausting afternoon! Thank you @ImaginingHist! https://t.co/hjofD21wiu
