Year 11 Parent
"I just wanted to email and say massive thank you. I have been absolutely blown away by how the school has dealt with the covid pandemic and the education of our children. The constant communication throughout has been second to none and at no point have I ever felt unsure of what is happening. Personally, I feel my two boys have not suffered with their education, and with a little bit of help from us at home, seem to still be pushing those grades higher. I am so proud."
Sixth Form Parent
"My son’s move to Waddesdon for Sixth Form has absolutely been the right move for him and I can’t thank the school enough as, despite the COVID situation, he has blossomed and grown in confidence just as his brother did during his time at Waddesdon. We are very privileged that our sons have had the opportunity to attend such a fantastic school. Waddesdon will always hold a special place in our hearts and we will always be truly grateful for all of the encouragement, support and of course high standard of education that our children have received."
Parent
"As we end this term like no other, I wanted to express my huge thanks and admiration of the way the school have soldiered on dealing with all the new and challenging situations with calmness, thoroughness and professionalism, keeping us all informed at every step of the way. The manner in which you have, only makes me more proud of the school I am lucky to have had my two children attend."
Sixth Form Parent
"Our daughter only began at Waddesdon during her A level studies. As a new student she was instantly welcomed and did not feel out of place at all. She absolutely loved her time and has made many friends for life. It has been one of the best decisions she has made, wanting to study with you.”
