Whitehall Primary School

One of the most important decisions you make in your lifetime is about your child’s education. The first steps into the nursery setting are the first in a long journey which will see each young person grow and develop through childhood and adolescence into adulthood.

At Whitehall Primary School, we aim to offer children the best life chances possible to start them on this journey. We offer high standards of teaching and learning, high expectations in terms of behaviour and conduct and an exciting and stimulating curriculum which will support and challenge your child from nursery to Year 6. All this is offered in a safe and secure environment where each child is treated as an individual and diversity is valued and celebrated. We also wholeheartedly encourage a successful partnership with home as we know how positively this can impact on a child’s progress and development.

This prospectus will help you to get a feel for the school, for its ethos, its values and its approaches to education. You may also wish to view the school’s latest OFSTED inspection report and its website for further information. However, there is nothing like coming along for a school visit and drinking up the atmosphere to help you decide whether Whitehall Primary is for you and your child.

Whitehall Primary School is a two-form entry primary school. There are two nursery classes, one in the morning and another in the afternoon. Each accommodates up to 30 three and four year olds in the nursery unit adjacent to the main school building. There are two classes of up to 30 children in each year group thereafter, making 14 classes in all.

The school also benefits from a resourced provision for deaf pupils. Whitehall as an educational institution dates back to the 1950s but the school is presently housed in a modern one storey building erected after a fire completely destroyed the old wooden structure in 1991. There is a school run Breakfast Club and a privately run After School Club on site.

The school enjoys spacious grounds including a large playing field and a number of other facilities such as a computing suite, a comprehensive children’s library and a newly created science garden. All classrooms have interactive whiteboards and the school is fully networked. Whitehall Primary is a popular school, respected by parents in the local community. Our success has been recognised via the Healthy Schools Award Scheme and the Travel Plan Accreditation Scheme.
