Thank you for visiting our website to find out more about Walthamstow Primary Academy. Since opening in September 2015, we have grown a year group at a time. We now have Early Year Foundation Stage, Key Stage One and Key Stage Two, with the our first cohort reaching Year 6 in the academic year of 2021/2022.
We are a very friendly and close-knit school, where every pupil feels at home and enjoys their learning. We encourage each child to discover the things that interest them and help them pursue these interests in learning and in play. Friendship, courtesy and kindness are as important in our school as literacy, numeracy and ICT.
When you walk around our classrooms, you will see our young children working hard in every lesson and finding enjoyment in each. Choosing the first school for your child is something that every parent and carer takes extremely seriously.
We understand this and are therefore happy to spend whatever time it takes to mean that, in choosing Walthamstow Primary, you are confident and secure that you have made the right choice.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
