Welcome to Whitfield CE Primary School

Welcome to Whitfield C of E Primary School

On behalf of the children, staff and The Good Shepherd Multi Academy Trust, welcome to our school. We hope that our school website gives you a flavour of our very special school.

Since September 2017 we have been part of the The Good Shepherd Multi Academy Trust. and are part of the trust's North Cluster of schools. We work closely with both Gilsland C of E School and Wreay C of E School in Carlisle, sharing our expertise and resources. 

Whitfield C of E School is located in the small village of Whitfield in the North Pennines- an area of outstanding natural beauty. We are only 8 miles from both Haltwhistle and Haydon Bridge and only 12 miles from Hexham. The school prides itself on its beautiful surroundings, bright and spacious learning areas, an extensive playground and quiet garden. We also have our own onsite wooded area that houses our beautiful outdoor classroom where we have our weekly outdoor lessons based on Forest School learning and activities. 

Our school consists of small, mixed aged classes where children are able to develop and make progress in a nurturing and supportive environment. The EYFS and KS1 have a spacious, free flow area which encourages independent learning in our great outdoors. 

We offer full wraparound childcare including breakfast club from 8am to afterschool clubs until 5pm and this is available to all ages. 

We are fortunate enough to be part of a strong and supportive community and are committed to serving our surrounding area. We are fully inclusive and welcome all faiths and non, our ethos being underpinned by our Christian values of creativity, Trust, Courage, Justice, Wisdom and Thankfulness.  

Everyone that visits our school tells us what a special school we are, and we agree but would welcome you to come and see for yourself.

Head of School
