Whitechapel Church of England Primary

I feel very privileged to be the Headteacher of Whitechapel Church of England Primary School.

Whitechapel C of E Primary is a good school, which is welcoming and caring, with amazing children, dedicated staff and supportive parents and governors. I am proud to lead such a wonderful team of staff and we work together - as a team - to provide the best educational opportunities for all our children. Many visitors to school comment on the strength of our “staff team” and their shared commitment to help every child in the school achieve their best.

“Staff morale is high, reflecting their pride in working at the school. All staff agreed that leaders do all that they can to ensure that staff are respected, motivated and effective in their roles. As a result, they are collectively committed to improving the school further.” OFSTED 2018

I am passionate about teaching and I have high expectations of all the children within our school. I believe that all children at our school deserve the best and our aim is to help them succeed in every area of school life – academic, social, personal, physical and spiritual. Our school’s Christian Values of Courage, Compassion and Respect are lived out through all we do in school. Our children are polite, happy and show compassion towards each other and they are equally proud of their school.

“You have created a positive culture where you value and listen to every child. There is a strong sense of community and belonging for pupils and parents. Pupils spoke with confidence and maturity about the collective responsibilities they have to ensure that Whitechapel is a caring and friendly school.” OFSTED 2018

At Whitechapel Church of England Primary School, we have a strong sense of community. You will find me committed to working alongside children, staff, parents, Church and Governing Body to lead our school to achieve the best outcomes for all and promoting links with the local community.

We are constantly looking at ways to improve and I would be pleased to hear your comments, questions and suggestions so that we can continue to work together to achieve the best outcomes for all children in our school.
