From the Waverley School
Welcome to Waverley School, a unique institution where each student is valued for their unique talents. At Waverley, we work hard to encourage each student to reach their full potential. Building on each student's knowledge and skills as well as starting to remove any obstacles to learning is crucial in our opinion. To make sure that the student's daily experiences take into account their health and therapeutic needs, we collaborate closely with a range of medical professionals. The demands of our pupils have been taken into account when developing our curricula. We gain a thorough grasp of the motivations and interests of our students, enabling us to offer engaging and enriching learning opportunities. Our goal is to create learning environments that not only satisfy the needs of the students but also excite and foster a sense of wonder in them. We view every moment spent in school as a learning opportunity. Despite having more than 100 kids, we believe we have managed to establish a setting that resembles a small family school. Every day, our students inspire pride in us. We sincerely hope you will stop by the school so they can demonstrate for you just how fantastic they are. After visiting our school, you will understand and appreciate our ethos and values. Although we think that "actions speak louder than words," our Golden Rules help you visualise our diverse and courteous school. To view the school growth plan 2017鈥�2022, please click here.
