In addition to learning in the classroom, our students also have access to a huge spectrum of extra-curricular activities ranging from after-school clubs to residential trips abroad.

- This is a successful and forward-moving school although there is always more than we can achieve and improve on for our children. Whilst it may be a very different place than when the school was first created in 1790, there are still many traditions and parts to it that hold to its founding aims. We greatly value the partnership between families and school and we often take opportunities to be able to work and celebrate together. Our vision and values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning and provide an environment that prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens. As the Church of England school in the Parish of Wanstead, we will work in partnership with home and Church to offer excellence in education rooted in the Christian faith. We will serve and nurture all the children in our care that they may realize their full potential. In all we do, the Gospel values underpin school life. Through these values, we are each able to ensure that the school's Code of Conduct is followed and that our school community is a happy one. At Wanstead Church School we want children to love reading - to enjoy books and to want to read - as well as learning to read. Within a broad and rich literacy curriculum, we teach reading through English lessons with reading-focused learning objectives and daily guided reading sessions. As the Church of England School of the Parish of Wanstead, we seek to work in partnership with home and church to offer excellence in education rooted in the Christian Faith. We seek to serve and nurture all the children in our care that they may realize their full potential. It is our aim that every child at our school is valued as a person created in the image of God. Pastoral care is our top priority. Wanstead Church School is one form primary school, with one class per year group. The Early Years Foundation Stage provision includes a Nursery where children attend on a part-time basis. Partnership with parents or carers plays a key role in enabling pupils and young people with special educational needs and disabilities to make good progress in all areas of the school curriculum. The school recognizes that parents or carers hold key information and have knowledge and experience to contribute to the shared view of a pupil’s needs and the best ways to support them. All parents or carers of pupils with SEND will be valued as partners and supported to play an active and valued role in their pupil’s education.

- We aim to inspire and challenge children to love learning. We pride ourselves on our child-centered approach to teaching and learning, celebrating the individual talents and personalities of every child. We believe that school should be a fun, exciting place where children can learn in a secure environment and be willing to take risks when trying out new ways of learning. How children learn is as important to us as what they learn. We are a friendly and family-orientated school, where partnerships between parents are actively encouraged and fostered through our open-door policy. The unique relationship between children, teachers, and support staff is one of our key strengths and, as a result, children thrive and progress in our environment. Our small class sizes mean that we can treat every child as an individual. The excellent ratio of staff to children ensures a high level of support so that children quickly build up strong literacy and numeracy skills. Innovative and enthusiastic teachers are pivotal to our success and lie at the heart of our learning community, providing the framework for your child’s educational, cultural, and social development. We are a Prep School. Preparing children for a variety of senior school entrance examinations is always at the forefront of our minds. Throughout the school, sustained emphasis is placed on breadth and balance, ensuring that children enjoy their learning, whilst being mindful of the necessity to prepare them for the important senior school entrance exams they take in Year 6. Children will leave Wandsworth Prep as happy and confident individuals, with the skills required to be independent learners, well-prepared for their next stage in learning. At Wandsworth Preparatory School we are passionate in our belief that a happy child is a learning child. From the moment a child walks through our gates, aged four, we place them at the heart of everything we do with an unfailing emphasis on creating the conditions and culture that each child in our care needs to thrive and achieve their potential. We nurture our pupils in small groups to recognize and encourage the unique personalities, talents, and gifts of every child We ignite in our pupils a passion for learning through outstanding teaching and planning a curriculum based on the needs of our pupils. This unique combination enables our pupils to achieve their full potential both in and outside of the classroom. We want children to leave Wandsworth Prep as happy and confident individuals, with the skills required to be independent learners, well-prepared for their next stage in learning with a natural readiness to embrace the challenge. At Wandsworth Prep, we want every pupil in our care to be a successful learner. Most importantly, we recognize that instilling positive attitudes towards learning will ensure pupils progress and reach their potential. Consequently, a key concept which shapes the ethos of our school is the Growth Mindset, based on the work of Carol Dweck. The curriculum at Wandsworth Preparatory School has been carefully designed to ensure that each child can fulfill their potential. Our curriculum is challenging, diverse, and engaging. Our curriculum takes into account the expectations within the National Curriculum yet, as an Independent School, we are not bound by it. We enjoy the freedom to be able to broaden and deepen the educational experiences of all the children in our care. We aim to create a learning environment where children are not only prepared for examination success but also develop a life-long love of learning. Children who can work and think independently, are motivated, creative, and confident with the skills to solve problems, collaborate, and communicate effectively, will be best placed to succeed at senior schools and in life itself, these are the qualities we seek to encourage and develop. We understand the importance of an effective start to a child’s education. We offer a fun, stimulating, and caring environment allowing the children space to grow independently and develop the confidence needed to take on new challenges. We recognize that each child is uniquely talented and our goal is to encourage them to achieve their full potential across a wide range of activities. We aim to foster a love of learning within a broad and balanced curriculum adopting a modern and innovative approach, igniting an enthusiasm for learning that will stay with each child for life. In Reception, our dedicated teachers encourage and promote ‘active’ learning throughout all the areas of the Foundation Stage Curriculum, celebrating each child’s achievements and preparing them for a smooth and happy transition into Key Stage 1.

Next summer, we move into our brand new building, where we will have all the space and facilities we need for the future.

- In 2004 we became an independent school and continued the Montessori education of children up to the age of 11. We have a school full of like-minded parents who are looking for a different education that puts children at its heart. Our curriculum is broad and exciting and our teachers have excellent experience in their subject areas and are passionate about what they do. That passion infuses their teaching and so the children are learning from people who care about education and believe in the Montessori method. No two days are ever the same at WMS, in the past term alone we have had a Chinese food demonstration, painted pictures in the style of Picasso, made totem poles from clay, celebrated Eid, learned about the slave trade for Black History Month, visited the local park to collect Autumn leaves, visited Fenton House to look at the history of keyboard instruments, listened to and created our rap music, collected food for a local children’s home and watched a spider spinning its web. Our children thrive in a nurturing and safe environment where small class sizes ensure that every child is a special person and allowed to develop at his or her own pace with the right level of encouragement and challenge. Children can start with us from the age of 2 years. Others start at 3 or 5 and occasional places do arise at other times so please do enquire. For parents and other interested people, we offer Montessori training to those who wish to learn more for themselves and can provide pediatric first aid training and safeguarding training. A school is a busy place but we pride ourselves in building strong relationships with all of the families that come to us and love sharing with you what we do. We are delighted that you are considering our school for your child’s education. We never forget that you are your child’s first educator and that you have a choice about where to send your child for their continued education. View full school

Children can start with us from the age of 2 years. Others start at 3 or 5 and occasional places do arise at other times so please do enquire. For parents and other interested people, we offer Montessori training to those who wish to learn more for themselves and can provide pediatric first aid training and safeguarding training. A school is a busy place but we pride ourselves in building strong relationships with all of the families that come to us and love sharing with you what we do. We are delighted that you are considering our school for your child’s education. We never forget that you are your child’s first educator and that you have a choice about where to send your child for their continued education.

- Walnut Tree Walk Primary School – a unique school with a child-centered approach to learning. Walnut Tree Walk is a small, friendly, and thriving school in North Lambeth, within sight of The Houses of Parliament and the Millennium Wheel. Situated in the heart of an inner London community, it is the local school for families from many different backgrounds and cultures. Each child who comes here brings an individual experience, history, and culture. Before they reach us they are developed human beings with their own identities. So we celebrate this diversity, we are proud of it and we hope it shows in our school. Our family ethos and creative curriculum give every child an opportunity to reach their full potential and nurture their talents. We offer a very broad and balanced curriculum so that children not only leave with high standards in Reading, Writing, and Maths but also experience outstanding arts provision. Our mission is for all children to ‘be the best they can be’ and to leave primary school in Year 6 as well-rounded children with a love of learning, ready for the next stage of their lives, and saying, “I know who I am.”We are a happy and harmonious school where children settle quickly and become part of the Walnut Tree Walk family. Being a relatively small school means that every child is known by everyone and individual successes are acknowledged and celebrated. The broad and balanced creative curriculum complements the high standards of teaching in English and Maths, meaning that children leave with both strong academic skills as well as achieving success in creative subjects. Our topic-based curriculum allows children to get fully absorbed into their learning and make links between subjects, topics, and themes. We constantly review our curriculum for it to be relevant and of interest to the children, providing them with the knowledge and skills they need for the next stages of their lives after primary school. We have families from many parts of the world, speaking many languages, with a tremendous diversity of cultural, religious, historical, and geographical experience. We aim to ensure that our curriculum draws on all this richness. The greater the variety of activities children experience, the better they do in all subjects across the curriculum. A child who is encouraged to develop confidence and self-expression will be better equipped to learn generally. We believe in educating the whole child and we encourage children to use art as their expressive language. From the moment children join our school, they begin to develop their artistic and expressive skills through a variety of media and techniques. We have excellent sports provision at Walnut Tree Walk, benefiting from several experienced teachers and coaches. Our Physical Education curriculum aims to teach and develop skills across a range of sports and games as well as encouraging children to lead more active lifestyles and to develop a sense of fair play and sportsmanship.

- Waldegrave School has much to offer young adults of the future. We set high standards of behavior and have high expectations of all our students. We are proud of the partnership we have with parents to ensure all students reach their full potential and enjoy school. Ofsted reported in 2007 that this is an outstanding school. Our examination results are excellent and reflect the work of committed staff and students. Waldegrave School, however, has much more to offer than examination results. We firmly believe that the most successful students are those who throw themselves into the life of the school. The opportunities here are many and varied and all students are encouraged to take responsibility for their learning and make the most of the leadership opportunities they are given both in and out of lessons. At Waldegrave traditional values and respect for all members of the school community are combined with innovative approaches to teaching and learning. The staff is a committed team of highly qualified teachers and support staff who work tirelessly to gain the best from all students in the school. We want all students to enjoy learning, achieve success, and be empowered to take responsibility for themselves and their futures. Admissions for Year 7 are managed by the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, not by the school. Offers for September 2018 will be sent out by the Local Authority. Applications from Richmond’s residents will be made on Richmond’s Common Application Form, which will be available in paper form and online. You will need to contact your home borough for guidance if you do not live in the London Borough of Richmond-upon-Thames. Applications received after the closing date of 31 October 2018 will only be considered after all applications are received by the closing date. This is unless you can provide proof that there were exceptional reasons that prevented you from applying on time. Late applications are coordinated by the School Admissions Department at Richmond Council. A waiting list for the school will be held by the Local Authority in criteria order (regardless of when an application is received) until the end of the academic year in July 2020. After this date, the school waiting lists will be disbanded and parents will have to request in writing to have their child’s name added to a waiting list for the school. Waldegrave School Admission Appeals Timetable - Year 7 September 2018. If your child has been refused a place at your preferred secondary school, you may appeal the decision of the admissions authority. Your reasons for appealing will then be considered by an independent panel. We welcome students of all abilities and celebrate the diversity of cultures, backgrounds, and talents which students, parents, and staff bring to the school. We want every student to enjoy their time at school and to achieve their best. We believe everyone has something special to contribute. We take pride in developing academic achievement, a sense of responsibility, independence, confidence, and mutual respect for others. Excellence is evident across the curriculum, which is broad and balanced and designed to encourage responsibility and independent learning. Students achieve very well here because we work hard with parents to encourage every member of the school to enjoy, achieve, and be empowered. The Waldegrave School governing body is made up of people from the school's community. Their role, together with the headteacher, is to set the future direction of the school and decide how the school's budget is spent. The governing body makes decisions on issues such as performance targets, school policies, and the school improvement plan. Because our governors have a variety of skills and experience, they can support and advise the headteacher. They respond to government initiatives and inspection recommendations, hear appeals and consider complaints. The school buildings and grounds are available for hire for educational, charity, and other events. There is ample parking and a variety of rooms from our large assembly hall to small meeting rooms. Educational, charitable, and community events are charged at preferential rates. Please note that we do not normally hire out the school on Sundays. Waldegrave is of interest to film location finders because of the variety of styles of building, long corridors, and ample parking. We can offer both old and new styles of the building (both smart and not so smart), a large well-lit hall with a traditional stage, laboratories, and IT suites as well as offices and 14 acres of grounds. Regrettably filming is only usually possible in the school closures. At Waldegrave, our aim is for all students and staff to enjoy learning, experience success, and develop their full potential. We have an immersion approach to SEND where all students are included in the life of the school, lessons, and learning: some students may have additional help to do this in a meaningful way.

- Walmley Infant School is a three-form entry school catering from three years of age in our Nursery class through to seven years of age in Year 2. We are committed to providing every child with the best possible educational experience with a broad and balanced curriculum. We make the time our children spend with us both creative and fulfilling in their learning journey. In everything, we do we have high expectations for all our learners. We believe that the partnership between parents/carers and the school is vital and actively encourages the community to become involved in the life of the school. At Walmley Infant School we believe in enhancing children’s knowledge and skills through the use of technology. At the forefront of our teaching and learning, the children’s safety whilst using technology is highly important. We teach the children to have an increased awareness of E-safety. The children are taught to take responsibility in keeping themselves safe whilst online both at school and at home. The internet is a wonderful resource to search for information, obtain pictures, talk to people from anywhere in the world and play games online. We can also share details and pictures with our families and friends and upload them instantly from any device (Desktop PC, Laptop, Tablet, or Mobile Phone). Upholding the traditions of British Values has always been part of our life and learning at Walmley Infant School. These values are reinforced throughout the school every day, in every class through our day-to-day routines and our curriculum. For example, democracy is a fundamental value in our ethos. The children vote for school councilors and librarians. The children who put themselves forward for these positions of responsibility are appointed as representatives of their class so that all children have the freedom to express their opinions and their voices can be heard, this is acknowledged and respected by adults.

- Wallington High School for Girls has an excellent academic reputation and we also provide first-class care, guidance, support, and development so that everyone enjoys a positive experience during their time at the school and leaves well prepared for life beyond. We are ambitious for our students and want them to leave prepared to contribute to the world - our school motto "Heirs of the Past, Makers of the Future" reflects this. Our school is a happy, positive place to study and we benefit from a multi-cultural community that brings a rich diversity to the school. At Wallington High School for Girls, all our work is based on the principle of equal opportunity. This principle includes equal entitlement to a broad, balanced curriculum, including the National Curriculum, relevant to the needs of each student. We, therefore, organize our teaching to provide for the individual needs of each student. This is particularly so for students with special educational needs. We plan and operate a differentiated curriculum to ensure equal access to the curriculum for each student. Partnerships are a vital part of our work with students with SEN. Parents / Carers are involved in all aspects of planning for their daughters. In school and external provision planning is shared with all teachers and the pastoral team. Provision is then monitored and evaluated by the School Governors. At every stage of our curriculum, we give our students, who are all very bright, stretch and challenge and prepare them for the next step of their academic journey from Key Stage 3 into 4, from Key Stage 4 into ‘A’ Levels, and from Sixth Form into university and life beyond. Throughout their time with us, we support our students on their pathways to follow their aspirations and fulfill their potential. This curriculum recognizes the need for rigor and pace whilst also giving our students a wide breadth of experience, extending and enriching the National Curriculum to meet the needs of our very able students. Their Technology course across the first two years encompasses 5 separate areas and a challenging project on structures. The Computing course includes coding from Year 7 and develops all the IT skills they will need to be effective in their studies at our school. We have also expanded Drama provision to support students develop their interpersonal skills. In Mathematics and Science, the GCSE syllabus is followed from Year 9 in response to our students’ ability levels. In our Sixth Form, we offer 30 subjects over a very broad range. These include all the facilitating subjects required for top universities, including Further Mathematics. Other subjects available include, amongst others, four Technology subjects, Art, Psychology, Philosophy and Ethics, Economics, Drama, and Music. There are opportunities for students to complete an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) and have the opportunity to complete a Sports Leaders qualification and take part in Young Enterprise. High-quality preparation for Higher Education and career advice is central to the pastoral program in Sixth Form. Our PSHCE (Personal, Social, Health and Citizenship Education) course runs throughout KS3, KS4, and KS5 and is designed to prepare our students to take an informed and active role as citizens in British society. We pride ourselves on the number and range of extracurricular activities on offer to our students. By extending their learning outside of the classroom, students have the opportunity to expand their horizons. We strongly recommend that all students supplement their academic studies by participating in at least one extra-curricular club. At Wallington High School for Girls, we recognize the importance of learning outside of the classroom and the impact these experiences have on students’ development. We, therefore, have five dedicated Enrichment Days each year, one in the Autumn term, one in the Spring term, and three days in the Summer term. During this time, all students will be off timetable and will therefore be able to enjoy the activities on offer, knowing they will not be missing any lessons. We aim to provide an Enrichment program that covers a wide range of skills and experiences balancing off-site visits with exciting activities in school. View full school
