About the school
“The Whitaker family coat of arms, with its motto ‘SPES ET FIDES’, accurately reflects the expectations of our founder, and the philosophy by which we work today – HOPE for our pupils’ future and FAITH in their ability to rise to whatever challenges they meet.”
Established school - open since before 2011. Became an academy in November 2011, continuing the school that was already there.
