School Ethos, Aims and Values

Whittingham School Vision

As a school, we take inspiration from the story of the Good Samaritan (Luke10:25-37). In this story, the Samaritan was kind by going the extra mile so that all the injured man’s needs were met. He was collaborative to make sure the man received the best care from him and others. Finally, he was courageous in helping someone who was different to him.

These three values are at the heart of the community we seek to be at Whittingham School.

Through our daily worship, we acknowledge the presence of God in our lives.

Through our learning environment, we provide space for everyone to flourish.

Through our broad and balanced curriculum, we aspire for each child to be the very best they can be.

At Whittingham, we are:

Kind

Caring for everyone’s safety, happiness and well-being by treating others how we’d like to be treated ourselves.

Collaborative

Providing opportunities for all to be involved in the daily life of school;

preparing learners to be active in the wider world and fostering a supportive

relationship between school, home and church.

Courageous

Celebrating what makes each of us unique and special; equipping us to make

healthy choices in all areas of our life; and empowering us to step out for others.
