"Pupils love coming to Whitefield Primary. They live and breathe the school values of ‘inspire, dream, achieve’. Pupils have lots of friends. They show great respect for one another. Parents and carers appreciate the family environment that leaders have fostered. Staff and pupils enjoy warm relationships. Pupils feel cared for and listened to. This helps them feel safe in school. They said that bullying and name-calling are extremely rare. Pupils are confident that staff would sort out any issues straight away. Leaders have high expectations of pupils’ behaviour and achievements. Pupils work hard and display positive attitudes. They understand that these are qualities that will help them succeed in school, and in later life."

Welcome...

On behalf of our incredible pupils, talented staff and dedicated governors I welcome you warmly to our wonderful primary school, a place where childhood is nurtured within a warm, welcoming environment and high expectations are a part of our entire school life and relationships.

We are a small, incredibly diverse, happy school community of learners, families, staff and governors, who want only the very best for each one of our children.

This is a school where the voice of our children is not just heard, but valued, celebrated and championed. Where children play, learn and move through and with learning to develop curiosity, interest, effort and belief in the power of themselves. Where we make mistakes which make us better and where progress is not always linear but is always clear as we encourage, challenge and guide a love of learning across our broad curriculum, both now and for their future.

Our school rules of: be kind, be ready, be helpful, thread throughout our connections with pupils, staff and families. This is a place where we inspire learning, nurture dreams and achieve great things inside and out for our children!

But don’t take my word for it, come to see our amazing school at work. Take a tour. Have one of our subject champions thrill you with our learning, let a school councillor share the power of our voices when we work together or have a member of our pupil SLT be your tour guide around our school; sensory room; forest or school library. What awaits you here with Team Whitefield, is truly remarkable.

Whitefield waits to welcome you to our impressive school and learning community.
