The Curriculum
A broad and well-balanced curriculum taught by committed teachers. Lots of learning outside the classroom. Whole-school themed learning days, e.g. Community Day and Courage Day, are cornerstones of a creative curriculum.
Games & The Arts
Pupils are taught by dedicated sports, art, music, dance and drama specialists. Sports curriculum includes netball, cricket, football and year-round weekly swimming lessons for all pupils. An extensive co-curricular programme encourages participation in a diverse range of activities from Lego and chess clubs to tennis.
Pastoral Care
Strong and effective pastoral systems and open communication underpins a supportive and harmonious community. The school’s size ensures that all pupils are known and seen. Students play an active role as peer mentors.
Recent Scholarships

Head Teacher’s Philosophy
Walthamstow Hall not only offers tremendous scope for discovering who your child could be but also staff with an enthusiastic commitment to accompanying that voyage of discovery. Staff see each pupil as an individual capable of shining in their own distinct way. Pupils here have never felt the needs to constrain themselves to a ‘box’ early on but have relished in participating in all the school has to offer.
Outstanding Characteristics
Places in year seven at Walthamstow Hall are guaranteed to all girls at Blackburn House to ease the potential stress of moving on to senior school. However, staff do support pupils and parents who wish to explore other senior school options. Whichever senior school Blackburn House girls go on to, they will step into year seven with increased confidence and a joy of learning. The junior school pupils benefit from being on the Walthamstow Hall Senior School site where there are some excellent sporting facilities, including the 25m swimming pool. The juniors also have access to other areas of the senior school including the Ship Theatre.
