WALTHAMSTOW HALL:

WHERE GIRLS THRIVE

Nestled in the heart of Sevenoaks, Walthamstow Hall is one of Kent’ s leading independent schools for girls, educating pupils from Year 3 through to Sixth Form. In an era when many schools are moving towards co-education, Walthamstow Hall remains proudly committed to the single-sex model- and the evidence for its benefits is compelling.

Research consistently shows that girls in single-sex environments are more likely to put their hands up, take the lead and pursue subjects traditionally seen as‘ for boys’. At Walthamstow Hall, that plays out in impressively high uptake of STEM subjects at A-level, free from the social pressures that can hold girls back in mixed classrooms. The result is a community where girls are unapologetically ambitious- in the lab, on the sports field and on stage.
That ambition is matched by results. The majority of Walthamstow Hall’ s Sixth Form leavers go on to Russell Group universities, with Oxbridge offers achieved every year- a testament to the rigour of the academic programme and the calibre of teaching.
None of this comes at the expense of wellbeing. Pastoral care sits right at the heart of school life, with a genuine, familylike sense of community ensuring every girl is known, supported and encouraged to flourish, both in and out of the classroom.
Prospective families are warmly invited to experience it all for themselves at Walthamstow Hall’ s Open Day on Saturday 26 September.
