William Penn
Our School Today
On Tuesday 3rd July 1973, our present main building was officially opened by Professor Edwin Bronner of Pennsylvania and was named after William Penn. William Penn was a prominent writer, theologian, religious thinker and influential Quaker who founded the Province of Pennsylvania. He was a strong advocate for democracy.
Professor Bronner unveiled a plaque to commemorate the opening. Over the years, there have been many changes, additions and improvements to the school buildings, which are set in beautiful grounds.
We believe that William Penn School is unique in its status as a primary school with a Quaker foundation. As a school we also subscribe to the same ideals as William Penn, kindness, tolerance and understanding.
