We are a comprehensive school of about 715 students and 90 staff, committed to delivering quality education for the communities that we serve.

As a comprehensive school, we value all members of our community as individual people with differing needs and abilities. We work to provide a stimulating and caring environment, in which everybody can do their best.

This aim influences all that happens within the school. It determines, from day one, how we work with parents and students in the partnership between home and school.

We ensure that each student develops into a responsible adult, with high self esteem. Enterprise and risk taking underpin the schools ethos and students and clients develop a resilience and capacity for independent living and learning in order to thrive. Our students are our local community’s future.

At Whitley Abbey School – "Enterprise and Excellence for All" - we provide our staff, students and clients with an inspirational opportunity to be the “best that they can be”.
