Walthamstow Hall

“Thriving girls’ day school in leafy Sevenoaks, which produces confident young women with an adventurous spirit and strong academic results. The school’s core values of respect, integrity, aspiration, community and individuality are very much in evidence at this friendly school where girls throw themselves in and thrive on the many opportunities offered to them. ”

The Good Schools Guide, 2019

Founded in 1838 in Walthamstow (hence the name) and moving to Sevenoaks in 1878, Walthamstow Hall is one of the oldest girls’ schools in the country and the oldest in Kent but as Muddy Stilettos found when they visited, “That’s not to say that it’s stuffy or outdated, far from it. With a brand shiny new Sixth Form Centre and a new head, Miss Ferro, who joined in January 2018, the school’s very much experiencing a new lease of life.”

Walthamstow Hall has a firm bedrock as an academic school providing academic and extensive co-curricular opportunity for able girls. This was verified by the ISI rating the School as ‘Excellent’ in all areas in June 2019. Headmistress, Miss Stephanie Ferro, defines her vision for the School as moving from this excellence to inspirational with a mission to develop young women of integrity equipped to live purposeful lives.

The School’s values of Respect, Integrity, Aspiration, Community and Individuality run through all elements of School life, ‘like a stick of rock’.
