Vision & Ethos

Thank you for visiting our website.

At Whitehills, we pride ourselves on the fact that we are a successful school and that, even though it is large, it has a family atmosphere and staff and children forge excellent relationships. We have worked hard to ensure that children realise their potential academically, personally and physically, while we encourage and celebrate success through the journey of starting with us in Reception, and leaving us in Year 6. We want all our children to enjoy school and understand that learning is the key to unlock future success. As a staff, we recognise the vital part we play in this and will continue to better ourselves to ensure standards improve by being life-long learners.

We place great emphasis on the service we provide for our community and see this as an integral part of our partnership with our children and families. We believe that all children are entitled to a first-class education that will ready them for a diverse and forward-thinking society. We aim to ensure that our children have access to high quality learning experiences, where emotional well-being, academic achievement, physical development, high expectations, resilience and respect are placed firmly at the centre of all we do.
