The Winstedt School

Anton and Charné Van Der Westhuizen, South African; Liam (8)

“We have been in Singapore for 10 years. Liam has been at Winstedt since August 2015 and he started in Reception 2 (Year 1). We were so blessed to have started at The Winstedt School with Ms Karina; she made learning for Liam fun and has a friendly and caring attitude. Together with other teachers she made a huge difference in Liam’s life and he has grown so much. The school tailors every student’s learning according to their needs and abilities.

Liam is now in Year 2, and we can see how he has changed in the last six months, becoming more focused and able to complete more challenging tasks. The teachers are amazing with him, and they care about his progress and wellbeing. The school integrates different international school curriculums into its own. There’s also a therapy centre, the Asher-solomon Centre for Development, and regular therapy sessions are built into the curriculum, undertaken by a dynamic team of occupational and speech therapists. Since we moved to the new campus, you can see the children enjoying the bigger space and new facilities.

I initially got in contact with a Winstedt parent through a mutual friend and scheduled an appointment to visit the school. Winstedt is different to other schools in many ways; it upholds a sense of community, love, passion and commitment as it grows. Before this, school was a struggle for our son, with constant meltdowns, anxiety and trying to cope in a system that didn’t allow him to be different. Winstedt has been an incredible journey for us, but more so for Liam; to see him smiling and thriving again is priceless.
