Welcome from the Head

I am filled with a profound sense of honour and excitement to introduce myself as the new Head of Halstead St Andrew’s School, an independent co-educational all-through school in Woking, Surrey.

At Halstead St Andrew’s, we are more than just a school; we are a family and it is a privilege to lead this exceptional community.

As a family-oriented school, we are dedicated to creating a caring, secure, and nurturing environment where pupils thrive as happy and confident learners.

Our values-driven and opportunity-rich ethos provides an inspiring educational experience that fosters the holistic development of every pupil while instilling a lifelong love of learning.

Our ethos is built on our five core values — Endeavour, Positivity, Creativity, Respect, and Kindness. These values are not just guiding principles; they are the foundation of our daily practice.

We believe that a positive mindset, a spirit of determination, and a commitment to kindness are essential in preparing our pupils to navigate an ever-changing world.

Through our innovative curriculum, we encourage creative thinking and problem-solving, ensuring that our pupils leave Halstead St Andrew’s not only academically accomplished but also equipped with the character and resilience needed for life beyond our school gates.

We are excited to announce that our first cohort of Year 11 pupils will sit their GCSEs in the academic year 2028/2029 as we extend our current provision to 16.

We benefit from two age-specific sites located less than a mile apart that enable our pupils to grow and achieve, both in and out of the classroom. Our exceptional facilities include netball courts, a swimming pool, an astroturf pitch, grass pitches, Forest School and a theatre.

Whether it’s through academic success, artistic expression, or sporting excellence, our children consistently surpass expectations.

I warmly invite you to visit our school to experience first hand the vibrant and supportive community we have cultivated. A personal tour will give you the opportunity to see our vision in action, meet our dedicated staff, see our superb facilities, and witness the enthusiasm and joy of our pupils.

I look forward to welcoming you and your family to Halstead St Andrew’s, where every child is encouraged to reach their full potential in a happy, nurturing, and inspiring environment.

Mr Andrew Ward
Head
