Dear Prospective Parent/Carer,

Thank you for taking an interest in our unique community. I know I say it every year, but there is not a day goes by when I am not proud to be the Headteacher of this school and the community within it. August was another of those moments where the Class of 2024 and staff got to share the fact that their hard work meant every school attainment record has been beaten! They left a legacy that will not be forgotten – that despite the challenges this year group faced, they obtained the skills and qualifications that best prepare them to tackle those challenges and enable them to go on and have successful futures. We have now challenged the future year groups to “step up” and write themselves into the record books!

I am consistently in awe of the character and resilience shown by our young people. Students are still coming to terms with gaps in their education thanks to school closures, yet they seem more determined than ever to make up for lost time, taking advantage of the range of activities that we were once again able to put on. It was great to see students getting excited for the ski trip this year, and also throw themselves into Sports Week, staying for rehearsals for the school show, going out on trips and visits or just being able to have Christmas lunch or an assembly with the whole school together – something we do twice a year and is one of my favourite times – it emphasises the importance of working on something collectively. And in our case, Warblington is something very special.

I hope you enjoy finding out about Warblington School, speaking to our amazing students and dedicated staff. Having access to a broad and balanced curriculum, and learning opportunities outside the classroom are key to our students developing into young adults. I sincerely hope that we will be welcoming you into our growing community in September 2025!

Excellence is our expectation.
