Our Vision
Our School Values
These values are referenced and supported within all elements of our school community. They are at the heart of our daily life in school, and they are woven through our curriculum and central to our Collective Worship.
We aim to serve our community by providing an excellent education for pupils of all abilities and backgrounds in the context of Christian belief and practice. We promote Christian values in accordance with the principles of the Church of England and spiritual development through the experience we offer to all our pupils. Our school will preserve and develop its religious character in accordance with the principles of the Church of England and in partnership with the Church at the parish and diocesan levels.
Our guiding principle is to put the children at the heart of all that we do to ensure they are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to flourish and embrace life in all its fullness.
Our Ethos
Whitehill Primary School is a community where we all work hand in hand with the families to ensure that our children have the very best of starts. We are proud of, celebrate, value and embrace the rich diversity within our school and beyond. We strive to assist every child so that they feel safe, have the confidence and resilience to make and learn from their mistakes and to overcome any difficulties. We want all of our students to discover the joy of friendships and the joy of learning, to develop into well rounded individuals who can thrive academically and socially and ultimately contribute positively to the world, succeed throughout life and fulfil their dreams without limits.
