We become what we consistently do. Excellence is a habit rather than an act (Aristotle). Everyone is treated as an individual and as such at Walter Halls. Teachers are tremendously ambitious for what they can accomplish and are familiar with every single student. Our pupils have wonderful chances thanks to a dynamic and rich curriculum that enables them to thoroughly explore topics and experiences. Their extraordinary intellectual, creative, athletic, and personal achievements properly equip students for their next level of learning. Children at Walter Halls gain self-assurance and curiosity by exploring, participating actively in their education, creating, and exercising critical thought. They are problem-solvers who benefit greatly from constructive criticism that fosters a lifetime love of learning and optimism. We honour tenacity and fortitude that result from making errors and growing from them. At our school, no strangers are present. We respect one another and value our diversity. Genuine kindness, empathy, respect, and brave attitudes are displayed by our kids. We encourage our kids to be leaders so they can learn how to make wise decisions and gain independence in both action and thought. The larger community that Walter Halls is a part of is essential. We are kind, transparent, and truthful because we are aware that collaboration benefits kids. We know our community well and we listen to opinions and needs, contributing positively. Teachers and all of the staff at Walter Halls have high aspiration for all our children. They model the qualities we want from them; sharing good practice and learning from each other. We provide each other with quality support and training and have a research-driven attitude to teaching that enables us to make smart, reasoned choices that positively impact on the children we teach.
