Walthamstow Academy. Choosing the right education for your child is an important decision. Parents want the very best for their children and the certainty that they will be encouraged to reach the highest standards possible, gaining the skills, qualifications, and confidence to fulfill their dreams and ambitions. Walthamstow Academy is one of a family of academies sponsored by United Learning. It is the largest single sponsor of academies in the UK and has a proven track record in education. United Learning's aim, which we share, is to bring out 'the best in everyone' - students, staff, and the wider academy community.
At Walthamstow Academy, we offer a warm and welcoming atmosphere in which our students feel happy, safe, and supported to be able to achieve their best. Since we opened in September 2006, we have begun to develop a school which its students and the people of Walthamstow can be proud to call their own.
The academy has provided an essential focus point for the local community and is becoming the first choice of school for local families. If you want to be part of making this happen - as a parent, a student, or as a member of staff. Walthamstow Academy is free to attend, with places open to students of all abilities and faiths. There are 180 students in each year, from 7-11, and 134 students in the Sixth Form. Walthamstow Academy offers students and staff superb state-of-the-art facilities and cutting-edge equipment across all learning areas (Art, Design & Technology, Humanities, ICT, Language, Mathematics, Performance, and Science) – providing the Academy with a spectacular 21st Century learning environment.
