I am pleased to let you know that we are opening more widely for a few more young people.

The Prime Minister’s announcement on May 10^th leaves advice for schools essentially unchanged. There is no firm date for school re-opening and the Department for Education’s position remains that parents should keep their children at home where possible. We are waiting for further guidance about what the government policy means for special schools and for our school. 

The whole academy, Whitefield Schools, Joseph Clarke School and Project Search will be closed from the end of the day on Thursday 19th March until further notice due to the continuing impact of the Coronavirus.

The next time you’re discussing your child’s progress with their teacher, you may notice that the way we measure how they are doing is beginning to change.

Faced with a set of rather tired planters, our Margaret Brearley School got each class to adopt a pot. The results were beautiful, but how do you judge which one is best ?

Whitefield students visited Little Hadham Primary School in Oxfordshire last week as part of a larger ‘eTwinning’ project that we are involved with that see us working with schools from France, Greece, Spain, Northern Ireland, Croatia and Portugal.

If you have a child at Whitefield Schools can pay for school lunches and other items using your phone, computer or tablet – or if you don’t have access to the Internet, you can pop into a local shop to pay.

It’s been another great year at Whitefield with Secondary-age students across the school making marvellous progress on their various ASDAN certification programmes. Congratulations to all the students who have worked so hard and thank you to the families and Whitefield staff who have helped them on their way.
