Head's welcome

Thank you for your interest in Gateway School. We are a warm, family-feel community where every child is celebrated for their individuality and known to all.

At Gateway School we are committed to providing learning experiences that holistically prepare our children for their next schools and life beyond. Aside from encouraging and inspiring every pupil to reach their potential across the curriculum, we also seek to help them discover their talents and nurture these too.

We believe in providing opportunities to develop character and promote curiosity, flexibility, collaboration, creativity and critical thinking within our curriculum. Throughout the school, the committed and highly-skilled staff encourage their pupils to challenge themselves and build resilience whilst feeling safe, cared for and supported.

We are very proud of our pupils’ learning journeys at Gateway School; they transfer to secondary school as confident individuals, with a secure sense of who they are and are well-equipped to take on their next challenges.

Please do take this opportunity to explore our website further and I warmly invite you to visit the school and see for yourselves what we are able to offer you and your child.

I look forward to welcoming you to Gateway School in the near future.
