Dear Parents/Guardians,

Thank you for your interest in Whitecross School. Enclosed you will find information regarding our expectations of ourselves and our young people together with the opportunities that we offer for staff and students to excel.

It is important to us that everyone who chooses to work with Whitecross School in whatever capacity understands and contributes to our unique ethos. We believe that our success is a consequence of the attention we pay to the individuals within our school community. Everyone is valued and valuable whether they be the youngest child, the oldest member of staff or the newest governor. They are all ‘our people’.

I believe we offer an excellent education. Our emphasis is on providing high quality teaching and learning in a stimulating and supportive environment. Our students are our greatest asset, they enjoy their work and are excellent ambassadors for the school.

We pride ourselves on the positive relationships we develop with parents and students, a partnership which is crucial to the success of the individual child.

I hope that you will find this prospectus useful and informative. I realise that it will not answer all of your questions so I would urge you to make contact with us. Please telephone or write and we can arrange an opportunity for you to visit.
