Waddesdon Church of England School
"May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you."2 Corinthians, Chapter 13, Verse 14. Read More
We have chosen this verse from St Paul's second letter to the church at Corinth because it expresses God's wish for us all to enjoy his grace, love and fellowship and to know the joy of living in harmony with God, our neighbours and ourselves. May the whole school community: students, staff, governors and families be blessed with these gifts of God during the course of this school year and may we all in our turn share them with one another, our neighbours and our acquaintances.
Waddesdon Church of England School is a co-educational 11-18 secondary school with just under 1,000 students on roll, of which around 260 are in the Sixth Form. In the most recent inspection of September 2006, the school was judged by OfSTED to be an outstanding school. A further inspection by the Diocese of Oxford in November 2006 also judged the school to be outstanding as a faith school. In recent years the school has held specialisms in the Visual Arts and Mathematics and Computing and has been designated a High Performing Specialist School and the Lead School in the Aylesbury Vale Leading Edge Partnership. In September 2011, the Department for Education granted the school Academy status.
While the national Specialist Schools programme came to an end in 2011, the legacy of our years as a specialist school mean that Waddesdon Church of England School continues to be a centre of particular excellence in the Visual Arts and Mathematics and Computing.
As a Church of England school within the Diocese of Oxford, our values are rooted and grounded in the Christian faith, although we welcome equally young people and staff of all faiths and none. |
