Welcome to The Edge Schools’ Federation

We are a proud family of three small, vibrant village schools—Brockton, Church Preen and Wistanstow—working closely together since 2016 to provide a nurturing, inspiring education for our children and communities.

Our schools are happy, caring places where children feel safe, valued and eager to learn. They are supported by dedicated, talented staff who go the extra mile every day. Our shared values—Friendship, Respect and Honesty—guide everything we do and help our pupils to flourish.

Our mission is simple: To keep rural schools at the heart of their communities – educating, inspiring and empowering every child to flourish.

We hope you enjoy exploring our website. If you are a prospective parent, we would be delighted to welcome you for a visit.
