What People Think…
“Pupils make an outstanding contribution to the smooth running of the school and are very involved in the local community. Strong links with local cluster schools also benefit pupils. There are good relationships in classes and pupils are, therefore keen and involved. Lessons are lively and engaging. The school’s promotion of equality of opportunity is good, as all pupils are valued and treated as individuals.”

About
Our Aims
We are a Church of England School that is funded through the LEA and we recognise our historic foundation. We aim to serve our community by providing an education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practise. We teach an understanding of the meaning and significance of faith and promote Christian values through the experiences we offer to all our pupils.
We believe that self-esteem is the single most important factor contributing towards a young person’s success. With no self-respect a person can have no respect for others or for the community within which they live. Self-esteem nurtures pride in work and appearance and helps to develop a sense of determination.
We are a small school that creates a secure family atmosphere with a spirit of caring and being cared for. Every child is an individual whose abilities are developed, encouraged and valued accordingly. This is a happy place where all can contribute to every aspect of school life and the life of its wider community. We are particularly proud of the way our children work together and respect each other.
Children develop their skills and attitudes, challenged to a level appropriate to their ability, within a curriculum that is broad and stimulating. We believe that it is important to give children the opportunity for regular moments of quiet so that they can reflect upon the world, themselves and how they believe they fit into it.
We encourage full support and communication with parents, as we know that without this our educational aims will flounder.
Our aim is to equip the children who leave Whitbourne Primary School to rise to the challenges that lie ahead.
Our school is situated right at the heart of Whitbourne village. The children who attend are drawn from the village and outlying areas. The main building dates back to1856. In 1995 a major refurbishment took place, providing the school with an additional permanent classroom, office space, staff room, cloakrooms and craft/computer room. Extensive refurbishment is taking place during the Summer of 2010 with a new outdoor area for the Early Years children being added and a striking new, secure front entrance with offices. The school will accomodate around 60 children.
