"That was the best bit, showing Mr Battle around," said Caitlin, who was referred to as "Miss Lawton" for the day.
"I would normally have maths and literacy this morning. It's much more fun being the headteacher."
The day also included a special all-school assembly in which year 5 pupils presented their own potted history of the area.
"The children have really taken charge of today's events, from choosing the music for the assembly to ordering the refreshments," said Ms Allan.
"They have done a wonderful job and we are so proud of them."
Whitecote was among a number of primary schools across the city that took part in the takeover day.
