Walnut Tree Walk Primary School

Walnut Tree Walk Primary School – a unique school with a child-centred approach to learning.Walnut Tree Walk is a small, friendly and thriving school in North Lambeth, within sight of The Houses of Parliament and the Millennium Wheel. Situated in the heart of an inner London community, it is the local school for families from many different backgrounds and cultures.Each child who comes here brings an individual experience, history and culture.Before they reach us they are developed human beings with their own identities. So we celebrate this diversity, we are proud of it and we hope it shows in our school.

Our family ethos and creative curriculum gives every child an opportunity to reach their full potential and nurture their individual talents. We offer a very broad and balanced curriculum so that children not only leave with high standards in Reading, Writing and Maths, but also experience outstanding arts provision.

Our mission is for all children to ‘be the best they can be’ and to leave primary school in Year 6 as well-rounded children with a love of learning, ready for the next stage of their lives, and saying, “I know who I am.”We are a happy and harmonious school where children settle quickly and become part of the Walnut Tree Walk family. Being a relatively small school means that every child is known by everyone and individual successes are acknowledged and celebrated.

The aim of Walnut Tree Walk Primary School is to provide opportunities and learning experiences that allow children to develop as independent, confident, successful learners with high aspirations.  There is a high focus on developing children’s moral, spiritual, social and cultural understanding. Our family ethos and creative curriculum gives every child an opportunity to reach their full potential and nurture their individual talents.

Walnut Tree Walk provides a highly inclusive environment where all learners enjoy their education and we aim for every child to make very good progress in a range of subjects and areas of learning.  Pupils at all levels are helped to achieve their potential. Those who are most able are challenged and supported through appropriate learning experiences.

Those who struggle are encouraged and given targeted support to embed skills, to develop at their own pace or simply to learn in a style that best suits their individual needs.

We constantly review our curriculum in order for it to be relevant and of interest to the children, providing them with the knowledge and skills they need for the next stages of their lives after primary school. We have families from many parts of the world, speaking many languages, with a tremendous diversity of cultural, religious, historical and geographical experience. We aim to ensure that our curriculum draws on all this richness.
