Starting school for the first time marks one of the most defining milestones of your daughter’s life. At Walford, we understand the significance of this moment, which is why we work closely with families to not only guide your daughter through this transition but also create an experience that sets the stage for a lifetime of love for learning.
Walford is a place where warmth meets wisdom, and learning is an adventure worth cherishing. For 130 years, we have been at the forefront of girls’ education, offering students a unique place in which each girl is seen, heard, known, and supported to carve out a pathway to achieve her best, her way.
To empower our young women for life, students at Walford become agents of their own learning. They are encouraged and supported to be lifelong, curious learners within an environment that is safe, inclusive, engaging, challenging and tailored to them.
For many of our students, our Early Learning Centre (ELC) is where their first experiences with the School begin. Adjoining the Junior School, the ELC is a co-educational haven for our youngest learners aged 3 to 5 years. It offers an inclusive and captivating atmosphere, emphasising well-being and inquiry-based play, thoughtfully curated within both indoor and outdoor environments.
Our Mid-Year Reception intake facilitates a seamless journey from early learning to school. Embarking on a six-term journey in Reception, this program has been carefully crafted to provide each young girl with the essential skills, knowledge and capabilities she will need for an optimal start to her schooling experience.
