Parent Feedback: - We couldn't have asked for a more positive start to school for xx - He absolutely loves coming to school at Whalton and speaks so highly of the staff.- Still asks if school is today (on Saturdays and Sundays). He would come every day if he could.- Loves coming to school, he even asks to come at the weekend. He has settled in so well, and loves telling us everything he is learning about. - We feel very lucky that ..... has such a caring class teacher who knows her so well. She is happy in her small class and has developed good friendships as well as a keen attitude to learning. - All my children have enjoyed their time at Whalton. The small class sizes allow pupils to get support they need and all the teachers know them well. The school has a family feel which I hope never changes. - Both children are completely different, but Whalton accommodates both, working to their full potential. - We as a family love the school, and so appreciate the small family atmosphere. I love how I can approach the teachers at morning or night for a word, or speak to them on the phone when I need to. - The school sees all its children for who they are, listens to parents, and give families a wonderful start in education. The quantity and quality of interventions is amazing. We’re very grateful. - Whalton C of E School is simply perfect. The culture and values are embedded in each touch-point we have and shine through the teachers, the staff and the children. We feel exceptionally privileged to have the school at the heart of our community and we couldn’t wish for a better start to .....’s education journey.
