Staff
Maple Walk has professional, enthusiastic staff, all committed to instilling a love of lifelong learning in our pupils. Our teachers are academically ambitious for their students but care equally about wellbeing and creating an environment in which every child thrives.
We have specialist teachers for French, Music, Drama, Dance, Sport and SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities). Some run additional after-school clubs, including Coding, Art, Football, Cooking, Gymnastics, Taekwondo, Robotics, Animation and Arts and Crafts.
“Everyone cares, we work as a team, like one big family.”

The best way to see the school in action is to book onto an open morning. These events last approximately an hour – you will have an opportunity to meet the Head and have a tour of the school led by the Year Six pupils. We look forward to welcoming you to Maple Walk soon.
