Despite having to negotiate the heavy rain, the excitement in Upper Nursery and Reception last Tuesday was palpable. The children have produced some wonderful drawings and stories about their experiences and it was a great success. Do visit the classrooms to see their work.

Medina Valley

Year 6 girls returned to school with smiles on their faces and bubbling with tales to tell. They obviously had a very special week at Medina Valley and were especially fortunate with the weather I suspect the highlights were the sailing and canoeing alongside experiencing the fun of having a week with friends My thanks to Mrs Dunning and Mrs Fawkes and to their families who generously lent them to us for the week

Welcome from the Head

Welcome to our website, which provides an insight into life at our school. The best way to see White House School is to come to visit in person and we are always delighted to show visitors round our happy school in Wokingham.

White House School is an independent Christian day school, for girls through to Year 6 and boys up to the end of Year 2. We have an excellent, outstanding, co-educational nursery for children for children from the term they are three years old.

We provide a secure and supportive environment for effective learning and personal growth. High standards are pursued within a framework of Christian values, celebrating the uniqueness and inherent value of each individual; confident, articulate and successful children leave White House.

The school is open from 8:00am and children may stay for tea or extended day until 5:30pm if parents wish.

I look forward to meeting you.

Headteacher
