From the William Alvey School
Our school is active and pleasant, with lots going on. We are a church school as well, and we are extremely concerned to make sure the kids know what it means to be Christians. By doing this, we hope the kids may make an educated decision about how they spend their lives. We firmly believe that every child deserves to be honoured and appreciated as a member of our community since everyone is known and loved by God. We believe all pupils are individually unique and that every child in our care should fulfil their potential in all aspects of their person hood: physically, academically, socially, morally and spiritually. Our goal is for everyone to prosper and lead full lives. At William Alvey, we believe it is our responsibility to try and eliminate any situation that would prevent a kid from reaching their full potential. We want all students to voluntarily participate in their education in a pleasant environment. This website seeks to introduce you to the institution while also regularly updating information for both parents and students. We sincerely hope you enjoy browsing our website and discover any information you're looking for. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with the school directly if you have any questions or to ask for a physical copy of any documents.
