- motivating them to focus on the task in hand to make the most of every opportunity;
nurturing the development of good relationships based upon:

BENEFITS
At Waverley our teachers benefit from regular professional development. .
We are proud of our school ethos and caring family atmosphere. We aim to have good links with the community and our children are regularly encouraged to look beyond our school environment.
At Waverley School, we educate the whole child and aim for children to leave us ready for the challenges ahead. Staff provide as many opportunities as possible to promote and build children's self-esteem and self-confidence.
Children in Years 5 and 6 attend a four-day residential trip where they visit places of interest and learn to be independent.
Throughout the school, children are encouraged to take on responsibility. In Year 6 children take on the roles of House Captains and Monitors.
