Whitehead Primary School

WPS comprises fourteen classrooms, a nursery unit, a dual purpose dining room/assembly hall, a very well equipped gymnasium, a meals kitchen and numerous ancillary rooms (allowing us to support children in a smaller group setting). We have extensive grounds with 3 large tarmac playgrounds. Within the grounds we have several activity centres for the children to climb, crawl and slide!

To provide opportunities for children to engage in active learning contexts across all areas of the curriculum, developing skills and capabilities for lifelong learning. To develop communication skills in order to express themselves socially, emotionally and physically, to develop as individuals and engage with others.

This is a copy of the holidays for this year. While I can appreciate how much money can be saved by booking a holiday during term time, I would thoroughly discourage you from doing so. Children can miss so much in a very short space of time which is extremely detrimental to their progress within school.

In Whitehead Primary School children will feel secure, will be valued as individuals and will be encouraged in their learning, growth and social development within a healthy, safe and caring environment. Our desire is that each one of our pupils & staff will SHINE making a difference in someone else's life.

Believe it or not, all parents and staff of the school are automatically considered to be members of PTA! It involves all of us working together for the benefit of our children. There is a committee who co-ordinate and organise the activities & events however, the PTA only works because of the input and support from all the parents and staff connected with school.
