Reception
A true love of learning is the best preparation anyone can have for life beyond school. So at Great Walstead, we focus on nurturing children’s natural curiosity. Rewarding their attitude to learning rather than just the outcomes. That’s why our children become independent, confident thinkers with a passion for life and learning.
