Walthamstow Hall
Walthamstow Hall educates girls with academic potential to lead confident, challenging and fulfilling lives. The School has a co-ed Nursery and Pre-School welcoming children from the age of 2.
Walthamstow Hall is a school where:
- All individuals are respected and their individuality valued
- Pupils are encouraged to achieve and expectations are high
- Consideration for others and self-discipline are promoted and good behaviour is the norm
- Pupils learn both to lead and to serve and develop a sense of responsibility within school and in the wider community
- Rewards and sanctions are applied consistently and fairly
- Pupils, staff, Governors and parents work in partnership
As one of the oldest girls’ schools in the country and certainly the oldest in Kent, Walthamstow Hall combines the best of experience with innovation. Respect for self and others, a strong sense of community and a pride that comes from sharing a great tradition, make Walthamstow Hall a dynamic place in which individuals are known and valued.
In a supportive and stimulating setting, pupils grow confident in their own abilities. They become assured and courageous, able to take pleasure in their achievements and equally happy to celebrate the achievements of others.
From the moment they join the school, pupils are helped to cultivate ‘smart’ study habits, and to engage fully not only with the broad curriculum, but also with the rich extra-curricular programme. Walthamstow Hall pupils do not label themselves as either ‘academic’, ‘sporty’ or ‘musical’. They are all polymaths in their own way, the leads in the School play are as likely to come to rehearsals from the Chemistry labs or Netball Courts as from the Drama Studio.
Expectations at Walthamstow Hall are high in every sense and over 95% of pupils progress on to Higher Education. The young women who leave Walthamstow Hall are articulate, at ease with themselves, ready to hold their won in any company and well prepared to excel in the direction they choose in life.
