We are a small, one-form entry school with a big heart and a family feel.

We nurture; whatever issues our students, their families, the school, our staff or the community face, we always support, react and pull together.

We act with integrity when working with each other, with teachers and colleagues across the school, with the wider school community and most importantly with the young people in our school.

Finally, we are determined to make a difference; we are not passive players in young people’s lives but active participants who can and do make a real difference.

At Whitegate End, we create emotionally resilient children and staff with a range of academic and life skills.

We prepare our children for life, not only the next stages of their education, and provide them with the tools to be lifelong learners.

Everyone belongs. The environment we create for each other is safe and gives us the opportunity to challenge each other’s thinking and stand up for the things we feel passionate about.

We thrive when we go out into the ever-changing world and are proud of the memories that we create together.
