Welcome from our principal

“As principal of Edgeware School, I warmly welcome you to a community where every student’s individual strengths and differences are supported, respected, and valued. Edgeware is a School for Specific Purposes designed for young people who have found mainstream environments challenging—here, we work closely together to create a safe setting for meaningful learning, growth, and personal achievement.

Our dedicated staff build programs that respond to academic, behavioural, and social goals, using personalised and flexible approaches for each student. Through partnership with families and support services, we help students reach their full potential and develop the confidence and skills for future success.

I invite you to explore our website to discover how Edgeware School is making a difference for every learner and family it serves. We look forward to welcoming you into our school community.”
