History & Ethos

Whitehall School is a proprietorial, family-run school which was established in 1983 with the aim of providing an alternative to the larger maintained or independent schools in the area.

Its founders believed that with small class sizes and a maximum number of pupils in a setting, the children would have the opportunity as individuals to develop strong academic skills and to build self-esteem and confidence in preparation for moving on to secondary school and into life.

This was certainly true and has become even more relevant today. Our children achieve their full potential at Whitehall by benefiting from an excellent education, individual attention and a secure, stimulating environment.

“…..it’s everything school should be.”

“Our children love going to school and are excited and challenged by their learning”

“Every child is made to feel special.”
