Mrs Bufton-Green - Welcome Back!

We are excited to share with you the vision and direction we are taking this year with our School Priorities, titled "Empowerment for Excellence." They will underpin our blueprint for creating an even more vibrant and successful learning environment for all our children.

Focus Areas:

"Creativity in the Curriculum." At Gateway School, we believe in nurturing the spark of creativity in every child. We want to create a dynamic and innovative learning environment that encourages curiosity, exploration, and critical thinking. We aim to enrich the educational experience for every child by providing them with opportunities to take ownership of their learning. Through challenge days, real-life impact projects, digital skill development, and inspiring guest speakers, we will empower our pupils to think creatively, embrace mistakes as part of the learning process and become lifelong learners.

"Developing Individuals." We recognise that each child is unique, and our goal is to promote their holistic growth. We want our children to thrive, not only academically, but also socially and emotionally. We believe that character growth and resilience are equally important as academic success. To achieve this, we are not only focusing on our children, but also on our staff. We are empowering our educators to continuously develop themselves, ensuring that they can provide the best support and guidance for the children. Together, we will foster an environment where every child can reach their full potential and enjoy the journey of learning.

"Purposeful Collaboration." We understand that the school community extends beyond the classroom. It includes our dedicated staff, our wonderful children and you, our parents. We are committed to cultivating a culture of collaboration to create a unified, vibrant, and thriving school community. Together, we will work towards the common goal of providing the best possible educational experience for our children.

We are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead as we embark on this journey together. Our School Priorities are not just words in a document; but a commitment to our childrens’ future. We invite you to join us in this exciting adventure as we empower our children, nurture their growth, and strengthen our school community.

In the coming months, we look forward to sharing this journey through the childrens’ experiences and our communication platforms. In the meantime, please click here for a succinct overview.

Thank you for being part of our school community. Together, we can truly achieve "Empowerment for Excellence."
