Principal's Welcome

Welcome to King's Leadership Academy Wavertree from the Principal; Mr Ben Barker

Our mission is to ensure that all children succeed and achieve their full potential. It is a privilege to serve our Wavertree community and we know it is our responsibility to help children develop into young leaders who will positively contribute to society.

Our culture is built upon three pillars - safety, vulnerability and purpose. We know that these are fundamental to a successful environment. We know that society is ever-changing and providing an outstanding, values-driven and high-quality education is more important than ever. We understand the importance of academic outcomes and our students will achieve excellent results. However, we believe that by developing character and equipping children with leadership skills and confidence, they will leave school as successful citizens in tomorrow’s world.

We are proud to have begun building a school that focuses on the ASPIRE values and each of our students will embody these values. They will be taught traits such as self-awareness, professionalism and respect both in and out of the classroom. These values are our lingua franca and result in a real belief that all children will succeed here; no one will be left behind.

King’s Leadership Academy Wavertree is a forward-thinking, innovative school that will demonstrate a first-class education. Alongside this technological focus, we are part of a Trust that has deep-rooted traditions. Even though we have not been here for centuries, yet, we will establish key habits and routines that will create a real sense of pride and belonging in the community.   

We are proud to have begun building a school that focuses on the ASPIRE values and each of our students will embody these values. - Ben Barker, Principal at King's Leadership Academy Wavertree
