Our Shared Ethos
Our ethos at Whiteness is about, “the feeling you get when you come into our school”.
Our Pupil Council asked parents to rate how we are doing and share words that describe our school during a Parents’ Evening. We have put the words into a Wordl. We think it describes our school well.
