From the Walkwood Church of England Middle School
As a state-funded institution, it is our vocation, obligation, and joy to give every student the greatest education possible. Students engage with the fundamentals of the learning process and grow to have a strong desire to study. Students acquire ideals that will influence how they live both inside and outside of school. Students will feel awe and wonder and think about both the spiritual and human aspects. Whatever their talents, we want to encourage every child to do their absolute best and contribute significantly to the Walkwood neighbourhood. We want our students to enjoy learning. In our school, we emphasise skills as well as knowledge. It's about challenging kids to be interested by classes and subjects and encouraging them to see the world in new ways. As a result, we want to prepare our kids for the future by encouraging them to gain life skills and preparing them for adulthood in a world that is changing. Teachers can improve their students' learning skills by using our "Learning Superheroes." We want students to succeed in the classroom and beyond. We are a Church of England school that welcomes students of all faiths and ideologies wholeheartedly. While Christian principles underpin all of the school's values, we know that these morals are shared by many faiths. We want our students to develop a perspective that will help them learn to love the experiences, people, and spirituality they come into contact with outside of school. "Remember your Creator when you are young." Ecclesiastes 12:1.
