A Sunday School was started at Whitehill Chapel almost as soon as the Chapel was built. It became instantly popular with parents, who would march their children down to the Chapel on a Sunday morning to be taught by grown up members and older scholars alike. The School started by using two corners of the Chapel, but the number of youngsters increased to over one hundred and it still remains a mystery how they were all accomodated in the Chapel.
The children paid subscriptions at the Sunday School , which in turn paid a grant to the Chapel to help pay for its upkeep. This started as early as 1873 when it donated £50-00 towards the building fund. The Sunday School Anniversary Sermons were held on the first Sunday in June as stated in a preaching plan of 1892. With the growth of the School, in 1904 it was discussed about the building of a new Sunday School, but that year all available funds including the sum of £22-00 raised by a sale of work had to be used to help the ailing Chapel.
In 1915 an account was opened called the School Building Fund when a concerted effort was started to raise money for the new project. The Jubilee Celebrations of 1921 when the Chapel was half a century old raised a substantial amount towards this. Finally the decision was taken to build a Sunday School.
On the committee were :-
Messrs. B Yates, H Grundy, J Williams,
Mesdames. F Moore, J Moore, P Leese, A Goode, H Turner, and J Scragg.

Naylor and Nutt were commissioned to build the School, which was designed by F C Crimes. £450-00 was borrowed to perform the work and the foundation stones were laid on 4th October 1928, the ceremony being followed by a public meeting in the Primitive Methodist Sunday School and Chapel. The new Sunday School was opened on 26th November 1928 by Mr G H Barber of Tunstall. The Reverend A J G Seaton of London, Connexional Sunday School Secretary, gave sermons in the afternoon and evening.
Although the tender was for £580 the final cost came to nearer £950. Nevertheless the building was fairly satisfactory, although a new heating system had to be installed almost at once at a cost of £39. Loans had to be raised repeatedly to pay off the cost of the building. In 1930 a demand for the repayment of a £250 loan with interest created great difficulties, but through the hard work of the Sunday School scholars and members of the Chapel in organising concerts, pantomimes and sales of work the whole debt was paid off in 1938.
A special mention should go to Mr John Hall, a most noted Sunday School teacher and local preacher who lived on Brewhouse Bank. He served the Chapel and Sunday School for many years until his death in 1922 and in tribute to his work a tablet was put in the Chapel in the following year.
