Where Happy Children Learn
A Gateway to Success
In the Heart of Everyone
We believe that a strong community connection enriches the educational experience and promotes a supportive network for children, parents, and staff alike. Our community oriented initiatives are designed to involve parents actively in the learning process and to strengthen the partnership between home and school.
Leavers' Destinations
Children at Gateway School undertake exams for the Buckinghamshire Grammar School transfer test and local Independent Schools. We are proud that the majority of pupils receive offers from their preferred senior school. This high success rate is attributed to the academic journey and the positive partnerships between parents and staff, in identifying the schools that holistically best fit the children

🐔✨Our school teacher is better than yours… 🐔✨
🌟 At Gateway, we’re incredibly lucky to have staff who bring learning to life with heart, humour, and heaps of passion.
🐓 Today, the one and only Mr Dyson — our science teacher and Farm School legend — stole the show. He arrived, chicken in hand, ready to wow our prospective parents at our open event with a taste of what Farm School is really like. His energy and enthusiasm for the outdoors are infectious, and the children absolutely love learning with him.
🩺 Meanwhile, in Humanities, Year 1 have been learning about the life and legacy of Florence Nightingale. We were especially lucky to welcome our very own “Florence” — the brilliant Mrs Clarke, our school nurse. She gave a fantastic hands-on demonstration of how to bandage different injuries and shared stories from her experiences in healthcare, both in hospital and at school. The children were fascinated and full of thoughtful questions 💬.
✨ Teachers like these are what make Gateway such a special place.
