St Edmund's School is a coeducational nursery, pre-prep, preparatory and senior school located in Hindhead, Surrey, around 10.5 miles south-west from the town of Guildford.
[2] The school moved to Hindhead, Surrey, in 1900, into a large country house named Blen Cathra, previously a home of George Bernard Shaw,[3] with grounds of some 35 acres (14 ha).
As the school developed through the 20th century it established itself as a traditional English Preparatory school, preparing its pupils for senior, public school education, regularly sending pupils to the likes of Eton College, Cranleigh, Charterhouse and Canford.
For most of its existence St Edmund's was for boys only, however, with the first girls being admitted in 2008, the school is now co-educational.
In September 2024 there are 620 pupils with Dr Adam Walliker Headmaster since 2000 .
