We are a busy but friendly school, with lots going on. This website aims to give you a taster of the school, as well as providing regularly updated information for both parents and pupils.
In September 2009 we moved into a brand new building, which allowed us to double our previous capacity. We are now a 2 form entry primary school with a nursery. We take 60 children into our Reception class each September, and we have 39 nursery children. In our nursery, parents can choose a 3-hour session in either the morning or the afternoon.
Our facilities include a Multi-Use Games Area(MUGA), a sports field, a garden/allotment area lovingly tended by our Eco club, a stunning swimming pool with colored glass windows, and a beautifully furnished community room. We do hire our swimming pool to swim clubs, please contact the school office if you have an inquiry.
Our Mission Statement is ‘Growing Successful Learners’.
Whitings Hill Primary School promotes high achievement and learning for life, we aim to achieve our mission statement by :
- Encouraging our children to develop lively, imaginative, enquiring minds and healthy minds
- Enabling our children to develop their confidence, self-esteem, and self-discipline
- Creating a safe and caring environment for the whole community
- Encouraging a sense of awe and wonder about the world in which we live
- Ensuring equal opportunities and equal access to the curriculum
- Working in partnership with families and the wider community
- Ensuring a smooth transition for all our pupils through each stage of their primary career and beyond
- Raising standards through clear assessment, target setting, and achievement
We believe it is the right of all to have access to high-quality learning experiences in a stimulating, creative learning environment where our children are supported in taking risks and take great pride in their work. Our Equality Scheme should ensure that every member of our community respects others and is respected themselves, achieves his or her full potential, and is welcomed and valued. It is the responsibility of the whole community to abide by this scheme. Equality is fundamental to the whole of the life and curriculum of the school. We value the ethnic, religious, cultural, and personal differences in our school and society. We are committed to valuing and respecting one another and this is reflected in all our work.
We expect high standards of behavior in our school. Our Behaviour Policy sets out how we promote good behavior and deal with any problems. Our children are often reminded about our school rules and they know that we have them for everyone to be happy and keep safe. As a caring community, we aim to create an environment that encourages and reinforces good behavior and fosters positive attitudes. As a hard-working school, we expect high standards from our pupils in terms of work and behavior. We believe that every member of the school community has the right to be able to realize his / her full potential in a secure, safe and happy environment.
