Last week, we were delighted to welcome many Year 6 pupils and their families to our first ever school-day tours.
Visitors had the opportunity to experience the academy during a typical school day, touring our facilities and seeing lessons in action. The feedback has been very positive, with both pupils and parents appreciating the chance to see the academy in action and get a feel for day to day life at WLA.
If you were unable to attend one of our recent school-day tours but would like the opportunity to visit, please register your interest using the form below:
We will be in touch as soon as new tour dates are arranged.
