April 2018"You should be proud of your school and staff. Our children are very lucky to be able to attend Waddesdon School and we very thankful for all you have done for our children."

2018"I wanted to write to congratulate you on such an engaging and successful careers evening tonight. From volunteer organisations encouraging our daughter to take part in a marine conservation vacation from the age of 14, to Aberystwyth University inviting her to visit in the summer, despite her being only in Year 7. There was such enthusiasm from so many of the organisations. Unsurprisingly, our daughter has come away buzzing about the whole event. Thank you for continuing to provide so many opportunities for these young ones...it makes all the difference."
