Welcome to Whitworth Community High School from myself, staff, students and Governors. Thank you for visiting our website, which I hope will tell you much about our school, its vision and its values.

 

I am very proud to be Headteacher of Whitworth Community High School, especially after previously having served the school in my respective Assistant, Deputy and Associate Headteacher roles. 

 

My vision is simple: I want to lead Whitworth Community High School as it continues to ‘climb higher’ towards becoming an outstanding school at the heart of the local community. This will be achieved through strong and ethical strategic leadership, underpinned by respect and driven by consistently implemented policies and practices designed to keep children safe and to help them to achieve the highest possible outcomes that they are capable of.

 

I am committed to the highest possible standards in every aspect of school life. It is important that students dress smartly, have excellent attendance, arrive on time, are resilient with their school work and aspirational in their outlook. I ensure that students are recognised and rewarded for their efforts but also make certain that appropriate sanctions and restorative practices are in place to help students to understand that our high educational and behavioural standards are non-negotiable. All of the above is important so that as a school, we can prepare the students, not only for their GCSE examinations but also for their future careers. 

 

Inclusivity is at the heart of the culture at Whitworth Community High School. Also, diversity is celebrated, thus ensuring that every student feels safe, valued, and empowered to thrive. The zero-tolerance approach to bullying and all forms of discrimination underscores my belief that every individual has the right to learn and grow in a respectful, calm, kind and supportive environment.

 

I hope our website gives you a taste of our school, but nothing can replace seeing us in action. If you would like to visit us to get a real flavour of the school in action, please do not hesitate to contact us. 

 

Best wishes 

Mr A Oliver 

Headteacher
