Welcome to Little Waltham C.E.V.A. Primary School - where every child is nurtured, inspired, and challenged to reach their full potential. Guided by our strong Christian ethos and core values, we are dedicated to shaping confident, compassionate individuals who are prepared for the future.
Rooted in the belief that we are strongest when we work together, our vision is inspired by 1 Corinthians 12:14: For the body is not one member, but many. At Little Waltham, we build a community where staff, pupils, and parents collaborate to create a vibrant and inclusive learning environment.
We are committed to creating a school culture where every individual feels valued and empowered to contribute positively. By working together in unity, we enable our pupils to flourish academically, socially, and spiritually, equipping them to make meaningful contributions to society.
