Whalton Church of England Aided Primary School is a happy, caring school where all children are nurtured and encouraged to reach their full potential through our core values. As a Church of England school the Christian ethos is central to the life of the school community.
We are proud to offer a team of highly skilled and caring staff who provide a rich and exciting curriculum for our children.
Extract from National Society Statutory Inspection of Anglican Schools Report:
“Whalton is a small school with a big heart which strives to care deeply for all. Pupils, even the youngest,
understand what it means to love your neighbour. Leaders, inspired by the vision, sustain a culture characterised
by kindness, inclusivity and acceptance. It is a school where ‘it is cool to be kind’. As a result, relationships between pupils are exceptional.
OFSTED judges Whalton to be a ‘Good’ school (November 2022):
“School leaders have developed an ambitious curriculum for all subjects. Quality training has helped subject leaders to revise and create curriculum plans that support the mixed-age classes in this school well.”
“School routines and behaviour expectations are clear and well established for all pupils, including the youngest. As pupils move through school, systems to support them to make good choices continue. Behaviour is positive….. Relationships between staff and pupils are kind and friendly. Pupils enjoy the family environment the small school creates during lunchtime.”
“Pupils say they are well cared for by the adults in school and by other pupils.”
Our successful Federation with Longhorsley CofE First School enhances our school for children, staff and governors.
I would be delighted to show you around school and discuss what Whalton can offer your family.
