Values and Ethos

Headteacher’s Welcome

On behalf of the Governors and staff, welcome to Whittlefield Primary School where we are dedicated to nurturing the potential of every child. As the Headteacher, I am proud to lead a community that values excellence, inclusivity, and a love for learning. At our school, we believe that education is more than just academic achievement—it’s about fostering creativity, building character, and preparing our pupils to thrive in an ever-changing world and be prepared to face challenges they may meet .  

Our dedicated staff work tirelessly to create a safe, supportive, and stimulating environment where each child can grow intellectually, socially, and emotionally. Our curriculum is broad and balanced which ensures pupils are challenged to explore their interests, develop new skills, and pursue their passions. Our goal is to ensure that every child leaves us as a confident, resilient, and compassionate individual, ready to take on the challenges and opportunities which lie ahead. 

We recognize the importance of partnership between home and school, and we encourage parents and carers to be actively involved in their child’s education. Together, we can create a positive and enriching experience that supports every child. 

I invite you to explore our website to learn more about what makes Whittlefield a special place. Whether you are a prospective parent, a current member of our school community, or simply interested in our work, you’ll find valuable information and insights into our vibrant school life. 

We are the Whittlefield Family. 

Come as you are: 

we welcome and value the whole you 

and we understand that we all have a story.  

We are a community where you can feel safe, secure and able to flourish. 

Here our differences and diversity are celebrated. 

Thank you for your interest in our school.
