Academic Excellence
At Walford, students benefit from a progressive approach to gaining feedback on their academic growth.
Through a model of continuous reporting, students receive comprehensive feedback that supports their ongoing scholastic and personal development. Their learning and achievements are consistently monitored, enhancing their academic abilities and fostering a self-directed learning mindset. This approach also enables ongoing assessment and parental involvement, with parents accessing feedback through our learning management platform. We believe that feedback is essential for cultivating rich learning, fostering a growth mindset, nurturing intellectual engagement, and encouraging students to strive for personal excellence in all they do.
Honour and tradition
The tradition of awarding braids and badges at Walford serves as a symbol of recognition for student engagement in co-curricular activities. Braids, adorned on the blazer sleeve, and badges, displayed on the lapel, stand as tangible tokens of a student's unwavering dedication, commitment, and accomplishments.
Braids are bestowed upon students participating in co-curricular activities where they represent the School in competitions or performances, requiring sustained involvement throughout the academic year. Eligibility for braids is earned after three and six years of continuous engagement in a co-curricular pursuit.
Excellence badges are reserved for exceptional achievement in various sports and music endeavours. They are awarded to members of first division teams and distinguished participants in Big Band 1, ChanterElle, Senior Concert Band, and Senior String Orchestra.
The merit system of braids and badges embodies honour and tradition at Walford, cherished by students who proudly display these symbols of their achievements.
