As a school, one of our values is to 'make a difference' and impact positively on people in our community. 

Our Vision and Values | Westerhope Primary School 

For this school year of 2024-45, as a school we have decided to spread our charity kindness across many local charities this year aka

'Kindness in the Community'

Our kindness ambassadors/pupil committee are looking forward to spreading kindness in the community! We have so many exciting plans, such as visit our local elderly care home, make ‘kindness baskets’ for our school neighbours, create a ‘Christmas food hamper’ for our local food bank FairShare and so much more across the year! Keep an eye on our Facebook page and family newsletters (latest one in link below) to celebrate the difference we can make when we action with kindness and empathy!

The charity chosen for 2023/34  is:
