St Vincent de Paul Society

Frédéric Ozanam, a young 20-year-old university student, along with six friends founded the first ‘Conference of Charity’ in 1833 in Paris with the aim of putting Christian principles into action by serving the poor. Frédéric and his friends took St Vincent de Paul as their patron. His writings preceded and laid the foundation for much of the Catholic social teaching of the contemporary age. Today, the international organisation numbers about 800,000 members in some 140 countries worldwide.

The SVP in England and Wales, with 8,500 Members, is thus part of a large, international network and has been carefully nurtured over generations by dedicated Vincentians.

The SVP in Maidenhead is a "small band of passionate individuals coming together seeking wise guidance in order to organise themselves to take on the world."

St Edmund Campion Catholic Primary School and Nursery

Our primary school and nursery are located on the same site as the church and form an integral part of our parish community.

The nursery offers a stimulating environment to children from the age of 3 with structured learning in a playful atmosphere.

The primary school was rated as "outstanding" by Ofsted in 2009 and also in a recent Diocesan Monitoring visit in attainment and progress in religious education. Details are available on the school's website: www.st-edmund.org.uk.

Admission into our school and nursery is based on Mass attendance for some categories. In our parish, in order to help Fr Liam, we have a card-stamping system; ask him if you require one of these cards. Every time you come to Sunday Mass make sure you get your card stamped to show your attendance. Before your child is due to start school you will need to fill in the school's Supplementary Information Form, signed by Fr Liam. See the school's website for information on the current Admissions' Policy for St Edmund Campion School.
