Welcome to Whitehall!
We would like to welcome all our new families who are joining Whitehall and thank those who may already have brothers and sisters attending the school, for continuing their journey with us.
This is the start of an exciting seven-year journey for your child with us. It is essential that we establish a good relationship with you and your child so that they start school happy and confident. At Whitehall, we value our parent partnership links and we are really looking forward to working with you.
Please ensure that you have completed all the forms that have been sent to you and bring them to the school office as soon as possible.
You may download the June meeting presentation for information about the transition process.
