Welcome to Wakefield Independent School

I hope this web site will provide an insight into what separates Wakefield Independent School from other schools in the area.

Of the many facets that distinguish the School, there are three outstanding features that make us stand out from the crowd.

The primary characteristic of the school is the friendly, family atmosphere that prevails throughout.  Our community spirit is vital to the well-being and character development of every pupil and the promotion of kindness and camaraderie is crucial in securing a family environment.

Secondly, we have small teaching groups and experienced staff.  The staff/pupil ratio is 1:10, which enables teachers to identify and cater for every pupil’s individual needs.  We have many staff with extensive experience in their subject areas, and their tuition methods have ensured the School’s consistently high level of GCSE results.

Lastly, the impressive, charismatic buildings in which the school functions are ideally situated in a delightful location within the Nostell Priory Estate.

We are proud of our history and look forward to the challenges of the future.

I would like to thank you for taking the time out to read this information, and I hope as a web visitor to our school, you have found the information you need to make an informed decision about a role here at Wakefield Independent School.

I look forward to receiving your application.
