Welcome to The Gates Primary School

 

THE GATES is a very special and exciting place to develop and grow.  Our curriculum is highly inclusive, ambitious and aspirational, ensuring that all pupils achieve highly, feel that they belong and are supported to thrive.  Rooted in our vision of “unlocking success for all”, we maintain high expectations for every child, regardless of their starting point or any barriers they may face.

Our carefully sequenced and well-balanced curriculum provides pupils with the essential knowledge, skills and cultural capital needed for future success.  Through high-quality teaching and adaptive practice, all learners are appropriately supported and challenged, enabling them to make strong progress and achieve their personal best.

We foster a strong sense of belonging through an inclusive and respectful school community, where diversity is celebrated and pupils feel safe, valued and confident.  Alongside academic achievement, we prioritise character development and personal development, nurturing resilience, independence and positive attitudes to learning so that pupils are well prepared to thrive in the next stage of their education and beyond.

Visotrs regularly comment on the unique 'feel' of our school and how we feel like a large family- why not book a visit to come and see for yourself?

Mr Doherty (Headteacher)
