The School Day

Thank you for your interest in joining Whitstone School. Choosing the right school for your teaching career is a significant decision, and we hope this pack offers you a clear insight into our vibrant school community.

At Whitstone, we are proud to be graded Good by Ofsted, reflecting our commitment to excellence in education. Our vision is to nurture ambition, respect, and excellence in every student. We believe in embedding these values across all aspects of our work, from curriculum design to behaviour and leadership.

We serve a diverse community with 25% Pupil Premium, 22% Free School Meals, 22% SEND, and 5% EAL students. Our aim is to be the school of choice for all residents in our local towns and villages, and we are passionate about being both champions of and championed by our community. We have recently approved a programme of volunteer and charity funded works to our school hall, in order to improve the facilities for both the school and local community. Our ambition for our school and community is boundless.

As a member of our staff team, you will be supported to grow professionally through excellent CPD, be part of a collaborative culture, and contribute to a school where every student is encouraged to reach their full potential. You will be supported by talented and capable middle and senior leaders, you’ll have a chance to get to know, to inspire, and to grow alongside fantastic students, and you’ll be supported by a talented and committed board of trustees.

We look forward to welcoming you to Whitstone School.

Warm regards,

Matthew Pike
Headteacher
