iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Welcome to Gorringe Park Primary School It is my great pleasure to welcome you to our website. The information here is designed to give you just a flavour of our vibrant and welcoming school and the exciting learning that takes place at Gorringe. If you wish to come along and visit us in order to learn more about our school, we warmly welcome you to do so.
We work hard to develop opportunities for our children and in the last few years it has gone from strength to strength. We provide an exciting and inspirational curriculum working with experts including artists in residence to widen our curriculum offer. In addition to the teaching of Mandarin as an additional language we also have a professional Sports Coach.
We strongly believe that children achieve best when the school works in partnership with home. We value the opinions of our learning community and use feedback to help us improve the provision we provide for the children in our care.
We have extremely high aspirations and believe in providing a stimulating learning environment where children are inspired and challenged to push themselves and take risks with their learning. We are constantly striving for improvement as we believe our children deserve nothing less.
