LOWER & MIDDLE SCHOOL
At WHSB we want our pupils to know and understand the world around them. By setting the highest academic expectations and encouraging each pupil’s sense of self-worth and well-being, we aim to unlock their potential and equip them for adult life. They are passionate about our sense of community and value each individual and their contribution. We promote understanding and awareness of spiritual, social and cultural diversity and the need for mutual respect. We understand that joining a new school can be daunting for both pupils and parents and we regard every individual as a unique member of our community, working hard to effect a smooth transition such that every new pupil soon feels happy and settled at school. During their time at WHSB we seek to inculcate in our pupils a love of learning that will stay with them for their whole lives.
SIXTH FORM
The majority of pupils who join WHSB in Year 7 choose to remain with us for a full seven years with the final two as a member of our vibrant, co-educational Sixth Form. Approximately 50 students join our Sixth Form from other schools each year. The School is proud of the achievements and attitudes of its Sixth Form students. Public examination results are strong; students take pride in going beyond a superficial understanding of concepts, and many take their learning far beyond the syllabus. Students participate in and lead a wide range of school events and clubs - academic, artistic, sporting, technical, social and entrepreneurial.
