Walthamstow Hall was founded in 1838 as an inter-denominational school for the daughters of Christian missionaries and retains its Christian ethos and friendly family atmosphere. It provides an all-through education through its two schools - a Junior School for girls from ‘rising 3’ -11 and a Senior School for girls aged 11-18. The Junior School currently has around 200 girls on roll and the Senior School around 420. It has always been an aim of the school to promote an intelligent understanding of the Christian faith and the school welcomes girls of all faiths. Both schools enjoy idyllic settings on separate sites and specialise in providing a high quality academic day school education for girls in the heart of Sevenoaks.
The Junior School Head, Mrs Diane Wood, was appointed from September 2013 to lead this forward-looking, flourishing school and is a member of IAPS. As well as leading the well-qualified Junior School staff, the Head of Junior School is a key member of the whole school Senior Management Group, and the Senior School enjoys membership of GSA.
Mrs Jill Milner, Headmistress, took up her post in September 2002, from Tonbridge Grammar School for Girls, having worked previously in a range of GSA day and boarding schools. She has trained as an ISI Inspector and has served on the Membership Committee.
About Walthamstow Hall Senior School
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. The majority of girls from our Junior School join us at 11+, along with pupils from other feeder Schools locally. We also have entry at 13+ and 16+, and retention into Sixth Form is strong.
Employee benefits include:
- Enhanced salary scale based on DfE scales
- Fees concession for daughters. The School has a separate fees concession arrangement with Tonbridge School for sons of staff (13-18 years) and at Prep level with the New Beacon School for sons of teaching staff
- Membership of the relevant School’s Defined Contribution Pension Scheme
- Refreshments/meals during term time
- Cycle to Work Scheme
