They put children's rights at the heart of school life, through the curriculum, policies and practice. They support pupils to develop into active, respected and engaged citizens; their role in initiating positive change in the world is key.We strive to ensure that the pupils feel happy, safe and confident- both in and outside of school- knowing that they have supportive relationships with the school adults who care for them. A child rights-based approach underpins our whole school values, ethos and culture. Through this we work together to empower all members of our school community.

Things to note
After School Enrichment Clubs
At Whitehall, they believe that doing things outside of the classroom plays a vital role in children’s education. Extra-curricular activities are one of the ways to support children to have greater opportunities to valuable life experiences such as bonding with others in or outside of their year group, aspiring to learn more about subjects/areas that are not usually part of the day-to-day curriculum or finding a skill that they would like to peruse in more depth.Research shows that the breadth of extra-curricular activities, spanning the musical, artistic, scientific, social and sporting domains, are widely considered valuable life experiences that should be open to all young people. Activities such as being a member of a sports team, learning a musical instrument are thought to be enriching life experiences. Apart from their inherent value, it is often claimed that young people can also develop positive tangible outcomes from these experiences of interacting and working with others through organised extra-curricular activities, which could benefit them in later life.
