At Wallace, our ethos is inspired by the legacy of our founder, Sir Richard Wallace – a legacy built on generosity, vision and hope. We are proud to be a selective grammar school that combines academic excellence with exceptional pastoral care. Every student is supported to grow not only in knowledge, but in character, confidence and compassion.
Our school motto, Esperance – meaning “Hope” – captures the spirit of our community: forward-thinking, inclusive and committed to helping every young person thrive. We offer a rich and challenging education, grounded in values of commitment, opportunity, respect and excellence. Through innovation, a focus on sustainability and an emphasis on the whole child, we prepare our students to make a meaningful contribution to society – and to shape the future with purpose.
