From the Whitwick St John The Baptist Church of England Primary School
The Whitwick St. John the Baptist CE Primary is a fantastic setting for instruction and learning. "To guarantee that students receive quality instruction and care, staff members collaborate closely, exchanging knowledge and learning from one another. The staff told me they were happy to work at your school and wanted every student to reach their full potential." As of June 2018, OFSTED. From our Penguin Pre-School through Year 6, we take pleasure in offering a curriculum that is engaging and varied for all of our students. Our ethos—one of trust, camaraderie, and reciprocal respect—is based on our Christian principles. The children consistently receive praise for their good behaviour and exemplary manners from visitors and when out on visits; they certainly are a credit to our school. We are aware that when schools and families collaborate, kids benefit most from their education. We frequently extend a cordial invitation to parents, grandparents, and other family members. Due to our close relationships with the neighbourhood schools, The Collaborative Partnership, The Coalville Family of Schools, and Forest Way Teaching School Alliance, our students frequently have the chance to interact with students from other schools and participate in both competitive and non-competitive sporting events. We encourage visitors to look at our website because the students, teachers, governors, and parents of our school are all extremely proud of it. Please get in touch with the office if you have any queries or would like to visit the school; they would be pleased to assist you.
