Who Comes to Our School?

The children who attend Whitefield Primary School come from a very wide area. Not only from our local Whitefield houses but also as far as Longton, Preston, Lostock Hall and Walton-le-Dale. 

Our school is diverse with 20% of our children coming from a different ethnic background to white British. This is wonderful as we are always celebrating religious festivals in school and learning about each other's cultures.  

We have 60 places in each year group. Our Year 1 and Year 2 children are taught together in three parallel classes and this is the same for Year's 3 and 4. There are two year group classes in Reception, Year 5 and Year 6.

In October census we reported 326 childre on roll.

In September 2026, all those who put Whitefield as their first school preference got a place at Whitefield.
