About

Traditional values are at the core of the school's philosophy, but we are mindful that we are preparing young people for a rapidly changing world. Quite simply, we feel that children who are happy and secure in their learning environment are more likely to achieve their potential.

Choosing the right school for your child is perhaps the most important decision any parent will have to make. Widford Lodge is a unique and special learning environment. We have been inspiring a love of learning in pupils between the ages of 2 ½ and 11 for over 80 years.

We value childhood as a crucial stage in life, a time when social and emotional development through friendship and play is as important as academic progress within the classroom. Each and every one of our pupils are important, and we cherish their individuality and work together to support their all-round wellbeing and progress.

Today we are proud to provide a caring, inclusive and diverse environment for our school community, offering a broad and balanced academic curriculum in a stimulating setting full of opportunities in which children can thrive.
