Whyteleafe Primary School

Whyteleafe is a high achieving, happy, vibrant and forward thinking school in which children excel themselves, both academically and socially. Our eager children have a real thirst for learning and our excellent staff team are committed and dedicated in ensuring that each and every child achieves. We have high standards and expect the best from all of our children.

Our vision is 'Aim High. Be Independent. Enjoy Yourself' and underpinning this we have our core beliefs that every child should leave us: literate and numerate, with a love for learning and with excellent social skills.

Our values are embedded within the school. The 5 Sapphires encourage our children to be Respectful, Responsible, Kind, Self Controlled and Honest. Children who display these values are rewarded with a sapphire tie which they wear for that week and are recognised in our celebration assembly.

Our curriculum is underpinned by our Whyteleafe Wheel of Learning which promotes effective learning behaviours in all areas of the curriculum. Our weekly celebration assembly highlights those children who have been displaying these during that week.
