- Just been around our fantastic new building...courtyard is starting to take shape!
- Despite the current situation, we are fortunate to still have a full complement of teaching staff allowing normal lessons to continue. Thanks to all staff for another great day of learning! We will continue to keep you updated of any changes.
- Farewell to our caretaker John after 34 years at Barry Comprehensive/Whitmore High. We wish you a very happy retirement!
- We have been delighted with the response to our new clubs offer at Whitmore High. Over 150 pupils in KS3 stayed after school each day! Please see below the timetable for the first half-term. With 23 clubs available, we are sure you will find something you would like to try!
- Our work packs for KS3 have been created and will be available from tomorrow both in paper form and on the school website
- Following our excellent Estyn inspection, we were asked to produce two case studies to showcase our effective practice. These have been published today. The first focused on the high standards of teaching and learning at Whitmore High School.
- Very excited to meet our new y7 pupils this morning. Lots of smiles and very smart throughout. Great start to the new school and new year! Nobody should worry about any blazer supply issues, these can be ironed out as the term begins.
- Lots of work happening to get the school ready for opening next week (Tuesday: y7,11,12,13 Wednesday: all year groups)
- A dedicated KS4 revision section of the school website will go live on Monday. Thank you to all the staff who have worked incredibly hard to get the resources ready in time
- Due to the continuing warm weather, there will be no requirement for pupils to wear blazers (or optional jumper) until the end of term. ☀️ Must be back on in September of course!
- SCHOOL IS CLOSED TODAY (Friday) due to a site inspection showing significant ice in many areas. The safety of the pupils and staff has to be prioritised.
- Well done to the Whitmore team...Welsh Schools’ Geology Champions! Mr Prickett has been after that trophy for years!
- Following the Welsh Governments announcement today, we will close Whitmore on Friday afternoon at 3pm. We will continue to update you as soon as we receive more information.
