Why Independent?
An independent education offers choice, diversity and excellence. All children are individuals and as such one size doesn’t fit all. Across the 13 schools in WOSIS we offer choices of size; location in rural, suburban or city locales; co-educational or girls only; day or boarding; and children can experience an independent education from early years at nursery right through to secondary school.
All the WOSIS schools have individual strengths and qualities, with their own ethos and character.
We are able to adapt and respond to changing circumstances and new initiatives, whilst retaining our core commitment to:
- providing an all-round education
- paying attention to individual and special needs
- providing good pupil to teacher ratios and small class sizes
- academic attainment
- extra-curricular activities
- partnership with parents
- service to the community
- a shared set of values centred on courtesy, respect and integrity.
