Ethos

"Let us all rejoice in our work"

All schools have a set of aims on which the school is built and to which it aspires.

Walhampton aims, as a coeducational day and boarding school, to:

Promote the importance of moral, spiritual and social values, inspired by the school's underlying Christian ethos.
Be a dynamic school in which teaching is exemplary and pupils develop both the discipline of study and the joy of learning.
Develop the academic, creative and sporting talents of each child, ensuring a broad and balanced education of the whole person.
Be a distinctly happy school to which children and adults feel a deep loyalty - a place in which children can laugh, feel safe and enjoy being children.
Inspire in every child a love of nature and the outdoors.
Be a school that is outward looking, building links with parents and the local community, as well as celebrating cultures from around the world.
Develop in every child a strength of character so they leave Walhampton as confident, capable, compassionate and independent minded young people.

This set of aims provides our school with a distinctive identity and strong sense of direction. It captures the essence of who we are and what we stand for and can be summed up in seven words:

Values, Learning, Breadth, Joy, Outdoors, Community and Character.
