Our aim is for each of our children to leave school with the dignity of being literate and numerate and happy in their sense of self.

Our school vision demonstrates we have a drive for excellence for all and this is regardless of being vulnerable or having barriers to achievement.  

‘At Whitegate End, we create emotionally resilient children and staff with a range of academic and life skills. We prepare our children for life, not only the next stages of their education, and provide them with the tools to be lifelong learners.  Everyone belongs. The environment we create for each other is safe and gives us the opportunity to challenge each other’s thinking and stand up for the things we feel passionate about. We thrive when we go out into the ever-changing world and are proud of the memories that we create together.’  

We have a strong ethos of inclusion and crucially a compassionate approach towards empowering and supporting our children and parents.

Pupil premium is an additional sum of money allocated to schools by the government on the basis of the number of pupils who are eligible for free school meals, and the number of pupils who are in care. 

Our Pupil Premium Strategy is based on a research informed approach and provides a comprehensive view of the provision we have in place.  Please read the information below which gives details of our Pupil Premium Grant and how we allocate the funding.
