At Whitefield we are committed to taking a sensitive approach to children who have experienced Attachment and Trauma issues. This impacts on all aspects of our school life for example how we teach, how we do playtime and how we manage behaviour.
We are proud to have completed the Gold Attachment and Trauma Sensitive Award in November 2020
