Every one of our children, in my opinion, has the capacity to develop into excellent members of society, and our nurturing and encouraging school community is the ideal setting for them to gain confidence.
Understanding, respecting, and taking care of every child in our care allows us to give them the best possible care.
Our strong bonds with parents and carers foster a common understanding and commitment to the school's values and goals, enabling them to collaborate in their children's education.
For EYFS, key stages 1, 2, and 3, Washwood Heath offers a diverse and balanced curriculum that aims to challenge all students and meet their intellectual, moral, spiritual, social, and cultural requirements.
For a growing number of students in key stage 4 (Years 9 to 11), the school provides an academic GCSE English Baccalaureate core along with a wide range of alternative topics.
We support our students' decision to continue their study after Year 11, and our sixth form offers a top-notch, individualised programme.
We think that all students should strive for excellence in whatever they do and should be courteous, tolerant, and respectful.
Everyone can find something to like in our extracurricular activities, which include several in-school workshops, theatrical plays, and sporting possibilities.
We will provide you with a wealth of information to better understand your child's development and academic programmes.
