On behalf of the whole school community, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Whitehill Primary School. At Whitehill, we believe that every child has the right to a first-class education one that inspires, challenges and motivates learners in all subject areas.
You will see throughout our school the motto Shine like a Star , which is used to inspire our children to aim high and celebrate their successes. We encourage each child to Shine Academically, Shine Personally and Shine Socially in order to be success in their education, but also a successful member of the community in a modern Britain.
As part of our commitment to a broad and balanced curriculum, we offer a wide range of enrichment to our children. We are proud to have our own minibus, which is used to take learning outside of the classroom and provide hands-on learning experiences. Our minibus is also used for the vast number of sporting events that we are involved in.
We are also delighted with our Forest School area, which is used by all classes throughout the year and develops great skills and risk-taking, whilst introducing the children to the natural world around them.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
