Whitby Heath Primary School
Welcome to Whitby Heath’s Web site. Please take time to explore the different pages and discover the many exciting activities and events we have.
Whitby Heath is a vibrant and caring community where we believe in learning to learn for life; where every child has a right to aim high and reach their potential. Our school community is also one where tolerance of and respect for each other's uniqueness is highly valued, and politeness and consideration towards each other is encouraged and expected.
As you explore our site you will learn about all those who are part of our community -staff, governors, parents and most importantly, the children. You will be able to discover the many different ways our children are actively involved in the life and decisions of our school, including the School Council, the Head Girl and Boy, the Junior Road Safety Officers and the Recycling Officers. Even this web site has had many of its pages designed by our children.
The school offers a range of activities and clubs, both during the school day and after school. These cater for budding musicians, with guitar and recorder clubs as well as a choir. There is also a drama club, cookery club, and a wide range of sports clubs from tag rugby to short tennis! We are also pleased to be able to provide facilities for a privately run ‘before and after’ school club, and a holiday club which is used by many of our families. Links to their website can be found from this site.
Whitby Heath is proud of the support from its Parents Teachers Association – ‘Friends of Whitby Heath’. They raise funds to subsidise many of the extra activities the children are involved in and without their help many of these activities would not happen. These have included theatre visits, in school workshops such as visiting musicians, and many of the other school trips organised throughout the year. Make sure you visit their page and find out how you can become actively involved and about the fund raising events currently being organised.
We have many links with the local community and continue to seek ways to develop these further, such as monthly assemblies led by the Youth Worker from a local Church and links with the Friends of Whitby Park - many of the flowers there have been planted by our children! Links with the local Children’s Centre with regular ‘drop in’ meetings are held at the school in a morning. Some of the links on this site will take you to these groups where you can find out a bit more about their work.
Please take time to browse and explore our site, read information about our school, view the most recent newsletters and find out about forthcoming events.
Discover what a vibrant place Whitby Heath School is –one where all can excel –as is summed up in our mission statement (opens in new window) “Excellence in a Caring Environment.”
