== History ==
The school was founded in 1925 by Robert James Mowll (1895–1963), the last Baron Mowll of the Cinque Ports. It was originally situated at Enfield, north London and known as Kilvinton Hall school. The school was moved to its current location in 1927 and was renamed Great Walstead school. Headmasters since Mr Mowll have been Gordon Parke (1960), Nick Bawtree (1986), Hugh Lowries (1991), the Reverend Jeremy Sykes (2006) and Colin Baty (2010).
The school has an eccentric tradition called "Q Day". A series of coloured dots were posted in the Big Hut (at one time by Mr Alban, the music master), indicating the likelihood of Q-day happening. One boy would have been told a secret code, when he heard this code spoken in a public place (the dining hall, chapel, sports field, etc.), he'd jump up and shout "Q Day", at which the entire school decamped to live in the woods for a few days in pre-built camps that each team had worked on all summer. Here, assorted adventures and plenty of muddy chaos was organised, such as attempting to invade enemy team camps to explode bangers, kidnap boys, navigate with maps, cook meals for staff and generally enjoy the great outdoors. In recent years, health & safety laws have had their effect on "Q-day" with bangers replaced by party poppers! However the great tradition of "Q-day" continues into the 21st Century.〔http://www.greatwalstead.co.uk/q-day-at-great-walstead-is-a-resounding-success〕
