Walthamstow Montessori School

Both of my children attend WMS. They truly enjoy going to school and have developed a natural curiosity for learning that is wonderful to see. The materials and techniques employed to educate have been very succesful in giving my children a deep understanding of the subject matter. WMS is a great school!

Our son has attended WMS since he was 2yrs old.. he is now 7yrs. He has excelled from strength to strength as a person & academically. The near on 1:1 education he has received from nursery to his current prep class is a rare experience for a child to receive & blossom in.

WMS is caring, extremely supportive to each child & family’s needs. The teachers, many of whom have been there since our son started, are without a doubt true professionals with hearts of gold.

The staff are all of an extreme high level in their professional abilities, experience & duty of care. The principal is so driven by her strong ethics at giving the children the best start in life by way of the Montessori method, and the school is a true reflection of her years of hard work & dedication.

Our son continues to go from strength to strength, & we are proud to say he’s a WMS student… 1st class.

This is a heartfelt email to all the staff at Walthamstow Montessori School from 2016-2024.

We have had the honour and privilege of being part of an amazing school for almost a decade. We can sincerely say that it has felt like an extension of our family.

We have made amazing friends throughout our journey here.

We had four children under the age of five – it’s true what they say that it takes a village!

The school has been nothing short of amazing. All of our children received admission to WMS as their 2nd birthday present!

We have watched our four children grow through learning and play. They have great discipline and character in them.

Reflecting on nearly a decade at Walthamstow Montessori School, there are countless cherished memories.

A few highlights:

1. First Day Excitement: The nervous energy and excitement of the first day, seeing our children step into their classrooms with wide-eyed wonder.
2. Seasonal Celebrations: The joy of seasonal events like the plays and concerts! community came together in celebration. My personal favourite is the sports day where every year everyone’s a winner!
3. Art and Craft Projects: Watching our children’s creativity blossom through various art and craft projects, proudly bringing home their masterpieces.
4. Outdoor Adventures: The fun and learning that happened during outdoor playtime and nature walks, fostering a love for the environment. Catching bugs at Lloyds parks and sporting various creatures!
5. Graduation Ceremonies: The bittersweet moments of graduation ceremonies, marking the end of one chapter and the beginning of another, filled with pride and a few tears.
6. Parent-Teacher Interactions: The warm and supportive interactions with teachers and staff, who always went above and beyond to ensure our children’s growth and happiness.
7. Friendships Formed: The lifelong friendships our children made, and the bonds we formed with other parents, creating a strong sense of community.

We feel sad not to be a part of WMS anymore, but you have provided the stepping stone for our little ones to grow. Having passed various exams between the 4+ and 7+, they are now at Bancrofts School and Forest School and hopefully will do as well there as they have here!

Keep up the amazing work and contribution you make to the local families!

A heart full of gratitude and love!

Honestly everybody at WMS have been incredible, always going the extra mile to help and make us & the kids feel comfortable. We appreciate you guys!
