Background:

Whitegrove Primary School is the second purpose-built Local Education Authority primary school constructed to meet the needs of the rapidly growing Warfield Parish community. The school was opened in January 1997 with accommodation for pupils between the ages of five and 11 years. It has seven classrooms, a computer room and a learning support room. Most recently two modular classrooms have increased the school's capacity. All central areas of the school include large hall, small hall, library and kitchen, which have been designed from the outset for the maximum number of pupils. The school offers class based accommodation generally with two classes in each age group. The interior design is of the highest standard and the school is resourced with the latest equipment to meet the requirements of the national curriculum. The school grounds are landscaped to offer hard and soft play areas as well as football and netball courts. Its older pupils do take part in the locally organised sports development programme, which includes soccer, rugby, cricket, netball, basketball and athletics.
