From the Waverley School
I'm happy to welcome you to Waverley School, a remarkable and interesting location!
In my new role as Executive Principal, it is also where I am establishing myself.
As we enter the next phase of the school's development, I hope you will share my enthusiasm for it.
Waverley School enrols students in its Early Years, Primary, Secondary, and Sixth Form Provision as an all-through school.
Few schools can make the claim that they are family-focused, inclusive institutions that can handle your child's whole education.
The ideals of humanity, equality, aspiration, and respect serve as the foundation of our curriculum.
This serves as the foundation for our guiding idea of "Learning Through Diversity"—creating well-rounded individuals capable of assimilating into contemporary Britain and the larger global society.
We are immensely proud of all of our academic accomplishments.
Most of our students score so well at the GCSE level that they can either get into their first-choice college or sixth form or start their preferred apprenticeship.
Many people consider Waverley School's Sixth Form to be their top option.
Every single student in our Sixth Form was successful in obtaining either university entrance or degree-level apprenticeships as a result of their years of education with us.
