Welcome
On behalf of the children, staff and Governors at The Waterloo School, I would like to welcome you to our school. We believe that our school is a very special place for children to learn and we are always very pleased that parents choose us as the place for their children to embark on the next stages of development and growth.
Our school vision is "Supporting our school community to be confident in building trusting relationships within a nurturing environment so that we all succeed and grow." The primary aim at Waterloo is to settle and soothe all our pupils so that they can access learning.
Shoeless learning
We will ask you to support us helping us to make this school shoeless when you visit our school. Our aim is to create a home-like environment, encourage calmness and help everyone feel more grounded in the school.
Pupil and staff responses to a shoeless environment: "It's more comfortable and you get to show off your socks", "It's a lot cleaner", "It's comfy"
