Head Teacher’s Philosophy
‘Walthamstow Hall offers not only tremendous scope for discovering who you could be but also staff with an enthusiastic commitment to accompanying that voyage of discovery, staff who see each pupil as an individual capable of shining in their own distinct way. Pupils here have never felt the needs to constrain themselves to a ‘box’ early on but have relished in participating in all the school has to offer.’
Outstanding Characteristics
Children can join Walthamstow Hall from their second birthday. The Nursery and Pre-School offer care from 7.15am – 6.15pm, available for 50 weeks a year. Specialised teaching facilities for young pupils include a science lab, art and DT room and music block. The Junior School has all the benefits of being the ‘younger sister’ to Walthamstow Hall Senior School, for example use of the pool, theatre and shared practice, but has its own standalone site conveniently located for commuting parents within walking distance of Sevenoaks station.
