Waverley School
Waverley School works in partnership with local schools and Birmingham City University (BCU) to offer our School Direct programme for Initial Teacher Training (ITT) in the secondary phase. This school-led programme enables successful trainees to achieve Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), a Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) and up to 60 credits towards a Masters level qualification.
We are an all through school for pupils aged 4-19, with a resource base for pupils with cognition and learning difficulties. Our school community benefits greatly from our landmark award-winning buildings that provide everyone with state of the art facilities for learning, teaching and training.
At Waverley School, we promote a culture of ‘Learning Through Diversity.’ We believe that education is about transforming the lives of young people so that they become successful adults, helping to deepen their understanding of human values and attitudes and developing their vision, ambition and aspirations.
Through our school values of Humanity, Equality, Aspiration and Respect we have created an environment that allows all learners to flourish, mutual respect is encouraged alongside a strong desire to learn.
Experience days run from 8:45am - 1:15pm.
Languages taught at Waverley are French, Spanish and Urdu.
