We all want the best for our children, so selecting the right secondary school is an important decision. A positive school experience can be transformational. It is our job to make sure all our young people benefit from that positive experience. Waltham Forest Council is committed to ensuring that we provide good quality education for all young people in the borough. As a borough we already benefit from having high performing secondary schools right across the borough, and we are committed to ensuring the highest quality learning experiences for all our children and young people, and that our children and young people will be healthy and safe in all settings. In Waltham Forest, we are passionate that all of our children and young people will: • Be challenged to achieve the very best outcomes and be stimulated to develop their creativity and critical thinking. • Be empowered to continue learning throughout their lives, and in particular be ready for adulthood. • Develop the skills to navigate society, with a strong sense of their emotional wellbeing, and the support available. • Have an understanding of the political, economic and technological developments that will shape their world, characterised by their sense of social and environmental responsibility. • Develop the skills which will enable them to participate, influence and shape their futures, accessing opportunities that will support them to flourish. • Have a strong principled understanding of and opposition to any form of discrimination and inequality. We are committed to partnership working to achieve this working with you – our parents – as well as our young people, schools, colleges, business and partners and providers to ensure that we offer our young people an education that prepares them for the future. I hope this booklet is helpful and makes the application process as easy as possible. We want all children in Waltham Forest to achieve their full potential, to enjoy school and to develop their self-confidence as learners and, ultimately, as active citizens of our borough, who are able to shape and mould their own futures. I hope you will be impressed with the schools you visit and that your child will thrive and be happy at the secondary school they attend. I wish you and your child every success.
