Introduction
Thank you for your interest in working at Walthamstow Hall. We educate girls with academic potential to lead confident, challenging and fulfilling lives in the 21st century.
School Ethos
We believe in a true understanding of the root meaning of the word education, from the Latin verb educo: I lead forth, I raise up. Not, ‘I cram full of facts or I make to jump through hoops’. At Walthamstow Hall, pupils will discover that learning is an active process which enables them to get personally involved, not one which just passively happens to them.
We offer pupils an environment based on trust, security and friendship, where they have the confidence to try to be their best. And by confidence we don’t mean brash or arrogant. We mean that, whether innately ebullient, or whether quite shy, Wally girls are characterised by a quiet assurance that comes from knowing who they are and, moreover, that they are valued for who they are, by us and by each other. This, we believe, is the best preparation for whatever life has in store.
School Details
There are approximately 580 pupils in the School 3 - 18, of which 442 are currently at Senior School. The Junior School (2 - 11 years) is on a separate site.
