Welcome to Whitstone School, a small secondary school set in the small rural town of Shepton Mallet in picturesque Somerset. With just over 600 students, Whitstone School is a community focused academy school, where each of our Student is celebrated for their own strengths, and is ably supported to overcome any challenges. During their time at Whitstone School, all of ourStudents are considered part of our school community and throughout all of their learning are instilled with our three main points of focus: Ambition, Respect and Excellence.

We want our students to feel included during their time at Whitstone School, and leave us having the confidence to fulfil their greatest potential. ‘Inspiring Futures’ is so much more than a strap-line to us, it is ingrained in all that we do - from the highest quality of teaching of a full and varied curriculum, to stimulating and exciting extra-curricular activities, and the most supportive and extensive guidance - we really strive to help our students be the best they can be.

Whitstone School is a thriving comprehensive school situated at the heart of a wonderful community. We are a successful, inclusive school where our relatively small scale ensures that all students are supported as individuals and challenged to achieve their hopes and dreams. Whitstone School seeks to inspire our students through engaging teaching, a strong and experienced support staff group and a focus on developing well-rounded young adults.

The Whitstone School values of ‘Ambition’, ‘Respect’ and ‘Excellence’ run throughout school life and are embodied by our students and staff. We challenge every student to be ambitious in their hopes and aspirations, whilst ensuring that all aspects of the education we provide is built on the highest standards. We are a school built on an ethos of respect. Relationships between staff and students are strong and support our young people in making the right choices within school and the wider community. Finally, we believe that every student can achieve excellence in everything they do at Whitstone School, irrespective of learning need, background or previous education. This unwavering belief begins as we support Year 6 students in their transition to Whitstone School and remains in place until students leave us at the end of Year 11.

Our students and their parents tell us that Whitstone School is a safe and happy environment within which to learn and develop. We are an innovative school on an exciting journey and are continually seeking new ways to provide rich learning experiences for our students and developmental opportunities for our staff. Our student population is of a size which ensures a really targeted individual approach and ensures that we retain strong links with our local community.
