St Ann School

Excellent school. It has truly transformed my little one into a highly intellectual, responsible, well behaved and mannered human being.

Please do not send your child here if they have any learning differences. My child has fairly standard ADHD diagnosed at 4 and treated well with many out of school resources. We wanted to have our children supported with Quaker principles and were enticed to WFS by home and school consultants as well as psychological consultants. Unfortunately, the deep lack of understanding of educating and supporting kids with learning differences led to us pulling my child from WFS. We were fortunate to have her long-term external psychologist join the learning plan meetings and confirmed our suspicion that the expectations and plans being set in place were setting my child up for failure. They were relying repeatedly on intrinsic motivation as opposed to external reward. Intrinsic motivation, in all of us, takes time to develop but particularly for a 6 year old ADHD child. We were so deeply disappointed that they could not flex to live by the Quaker principles of community and include and accommodate even the most mild learning difference. If your child can fit into a very narrow box of high achievement, WFS is a great school for them. Otherwise, you are best looking elsewhere.
