Values and vision
Whitley Bay High School is built on an ethos of positive relationships and a desire to help students develop a love of learning. Teachers strive to instil high self-esteem in their students, to help them grow into confident, sensitive and reflective adults.
Although the secondary school is large, it works hard to create a small-school community atmosphere. It recognises its students as individuals who are all different, but also equal. It believes in strong collaboration with parents to help children achieve their potential.
Ofsted report
“Whitley Bay High School provides an outstanding education for its students. Students, staff and parents hold the school in great esteem. Comments such as, ‘I am proud to be a member of the school community’ from a student, and ‘I have loved every day of my career at this school’ from a member of staff, illustrate this well. All groups of students make outstanding progress from their starting points, so that they leave Year 11 with standards that are well above those found nationally."
