At Whitchurch Primary School, we value the importance of developing strong links

between the school and local, regional, national and international communities. Through

visits, assemblies, concerts and special events, we involve our pupils in the local

community, so that they learn how to participate in a practical way in the life and concerns

of their neighbourhood and communities.

Working with parents, local residents, the business community, public services, and

voluntary services teaches the children to become active citizens.

Whitchurch Primary School is not a building in isolation, but is situated within the

community of Whitchurch and surrounding area, which is part of the larger community of

Cardiff and Wales.

It is important that Whitchurch Primary School, its children, staff and governors are

recognised as part of the local, wider and international community.
