Welcome to WALDERSLADE & GREENACRE As Headteacher of The Walderslade & Greenacre Schools Partnership, it is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome to all students, parents and visitors. Our school is dedicated to nurturing the potential of every student.
We believe in creating a positive and highly aspirational environment where each child can thrive academically, socially and emotionally. Our mission is to ensure that every student feels valued, supported and inspired to achieve their highest potential. I truly believe that all students can achieve well at WGSP.
Whether the Medway test has been sat, passed or failed, WGSP can compete in providing excellent learning opportunities in traditional subjects whilst offering a broad curriculum.
Our school is a unique environment where we can offer the best of a mixed setting, our students accessing two school sites, excellent Sporting and Performing Arts facilities, mixing socially, whilst receiving all lessons at Key Stage 3 in a single sex environment.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
