Whitkirk Primary School has a big heart – it is a happy school in which our pupils are encouraged to become considerate and responsible members of society. Our dedicated and passionate staff work hard to make sure everyone feels cared for, safe and valued.
Our vision is ‘to be the best that we can be’. We aim to create determined and resilient learners for life. We want our pupils to enjoy their days at school and to know the joys of learning, discovery and challenge.
We want to work in partnership with you, our parents, as this is key to success. We will work together to make sure every child has the opportunity to achieve their potential and treat every child as the unique and extraordinary individual that they are.

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’.
