From the Whittingham Church of England Primary School
We convened students, governors, and staff after operating as a primary school for a year to reexamine our fundamental principles.
It was decided that this was a good moment to build our school's ethos, which is "Hand in hand we will become resilient, respected, and responsible citizens of our society and the wider world." Being a primary school has allowed us to broaden our horizons and develop our learning.
To offer each student a welcoming, safe, and openly Christian atmosphere.
Providing our students with chances to participate in school activities will help to prepare them for active citizenship both locally and globally.
With input from the entire school community, our ethos and goals were created with the expectation that they will help every student realise their greatest potential.
They are thought to lay a solid basis for your child's future education and get them ready for a part in our rapidly changing society.
Since September 2017, we have carefully revised our curriculum to reflect our goals and to give all students a stimulating education that will help us achieve our objectives.
