Mansfield
Joseph Whitaker School is a secondary school with academy status in Rainworth
near Mansfield, Nottinghamshire in England. The school takes its name from
Joseph Whitaker, a naturalist who lived in Rainworth at Rainworth Lodge. The
school is part of the East Midlands Educational Trust which it joined in
September 2016. Choosing the right secondary school for your child is one of the
most important decisions that you will make with your child. At The Joseph
Whitaker School we believe that we have a culture and ethos which enables every
child to thrive and develop into a confident young adult whilst achieving
excellent qualifications in readiness for their future. This truly is a
wonderful school where we cater for all students’ needs and ambitions, whatever
their starting point. Examination outcomes are strong and we offer a broad and
balanced curriculum throughout all key stages. In addition to the taught
curriculum, we offer a multitude of additional opportunities and I hope that
your child takes full advantage of the activities that we have to offer. The
welfare of our students is of the greatest importance to us and we pride
ourselves on the high standard of pastoral care that we provide through the
House and tutoring system. We encourage our students to take personal
responsibility; their levels of effort and commitment will be reflected in their
final examination outcomes. We maintain an ordered and calm environment with
high standards of uniform and behaviour. All of our students are expected to be
polite and courteous at all times. Parental engagement is actively encouraged in
order to create a culture of mutual support through which, along with regular,
effective communication, we will continue to provide the very best education for
each one of our students. Everything that we do is intended to enable all
students to fulfil their potential. In order to achieve our ambitions we expect
that all parents and carers will provide unwavering support in ensuring that our
high expectations and standards are upheld – we are unapologetic in our drive
for excellence. I hope that you find this prospectus useful and informative,
giving you a flavour of The Joseph Whitaker School. We very much look forward to
meeting you.
