Whitmore High School

Whitmore High School is a mixed comprehensive school with an excellent record of achievement. Students achieve the highest standards of work and behaviour in a positive, friendly but disciplined atmosphere. Our highly-qualified staff are committed to ensuring all students reach their full potential, and we work closely with parents to achieve this.

In 2015, we were delighted that Ofsted again judged the school to be Outstanding in all areas, including the Sixth Form. The inspection team commented on the “outstanding progress” and “exemplary behaviour” demonstrated by our students, our “commitment to making sure that all students achieve their best” and the “exceptional” support for spiritual, moral, social and cultural development which our students receive. A copy of the Ofsted report is available on the school website.

We care for our students as individuals and support them to be happy, confident and successful young people. We stretch and challenge them to achieve their very best in all aspects of school life, and we provide a wide range of pastoral and extra-curricular opportunities to enrich their personal development.

Whitmore is a popular and oversubscribed school. We have close and supportive links with our local primary schools, but also welcome students from outside this network.

At Whitmore High School we aim to provide the best possible education for all our students by:

• Promoting a broad and balanced curriculum in which students take an active part in their own learning.
• Recognising the needs of individuals, placing suitable high demands on them and stimulating them to achieve success.
• Encouraging students to aim for the highest standards of work and behaviour at all times.
• Creating an ordered and friendly community where relationships are positive and founded on courtesy, respect and shared values.
• Acknowledging the importance of links between home, school and the wider community.
• Maintaining a spirit of constructive self-criticism, regularly considering improvements to existing practice.
