It is my privilege to welcome you to Wightwick Hall School, part of the Endeavour Multi Academy Trust. As Headteacher, I am proud to lead a school where every young person is supported to be Ready, Respectful and Resilient and where the wellbeing, progress and personal growth of each learner sits at the centre of everything we do.
Learning at Wightwick Hall School is an adventure rich with opportunities for personal development, achievement and enjoyment. All students are given the opportunity to take an active role in the leadership of the school, encouraging them to value themselves and recognise their own abilities and challenges.
We offer a personalised curriculum giving the students the knowledge, skills, values and life skills they need to create their own success as thoughtful and confident individuals.
