Writhlington School offers high quality teaching and learning in fantastic modern facilities. Our community is proud of its high standards and the excellent opportunities that inspire achievement for all.

Writhlington has a proud history of success across all aspects of school life. We are a forward-looking school and aim for our students to have confidence and the necessary skills to play a full and active part in a rapidly changing world. We care deeply about all those who are part of the school community and know that our greatest resource is our people. We are determined to support students to have the highest aspirations in all that they do, to never accept second best, but also to be conciliatory, kind, wise and understanding of others.

We promote excellence in the classroom and expect outstanding behaviour for all students. We challenge students to be dedicated to their studies and support them to achieve greatness across all aspects of school life. Writhlington is a school where the curriculum is rigorous, and where inspiration and insight are rewarded. We do this by promoting the development of the whole person and students’ individual skills and interests and developing a lasting interest in, enjoyment of and appreciation of the value of learning. We develop knowledge and skills that relate to learning in subjects as well as other, more generic, transferable skills essential for life in an increasingly global society. .

We value the voice of all our stakeholders as this helps us to be a truly reflective school. In summary, our vision is for Writhlington School to be a fully inclusive community with outstanding outcomes, so that all students have the best possible life opportunities.
