On behalf of the children, staff and governors, I would like to welcome you to Whitkirk Primary School. We are a warm and friendly school situated in East Leeds that is committed to providing high-quality, inclusive education for all our pupils. Our dedicated and passionate staff work hard to make sure everyone feels cared for, safe and valued.
At Whitkirk, every child is recognised as individual and unique and our vision ‘to be the best that you can be’ underpins everything that we do. It is my firm belief that children only get one chance at an education and as such every moment is precious and it deserves to be the very best. We want our children to enjoy learning and to respect each other so they become confident and happy young people who when they leave us in Year 6 are ready for their next phase in their learning and are independent and compassionate members of our local, national and global communities.

What a year this has turned out to be, and I certainly can't thank our pupils, our parents/ carers and families, and staff enough for always smiling, being willing to give anything a go, and genuinely caring about our school.

It was National Numeracy Day on Wednesday this week. Across school, children have talked about how they use numbers in everyday life, and how they may use them in the future.

An ‘OUTSTANDING’ Provision for Before and After School Care We offer quality childcare provision before and after school in our Whitkirk Kidz Club (WhiKidZ). The Club is open each day from 7.30am before school and until 5.55pm after school.
Our pre-school offers your child a safe and secure environment with indoor and outdoor learning areas enabling us to enhance the holistic development of each child as an individual. We provide free choice learning through play activities and also planned topics designed to develop children’s emotional, physical and intellectual capabilities.
At Whitkirk, we spent a lot of time with our children to come up with our vision, values and rules. Our Assistant Headteacher, Mrs. Martin, met with the School Council and their class representatives to work on ensuring that Whitkirk really is ‘The best that we can be’.
