Christmas singalongs will take place on Tuesday 16th December and Thursday 18th December at 2:30pm. See your emails on how to book! At Goodway Nursery School we have been supporting children and families in our local community since 1939. During this time we have taught generations of families, as well as welcoming new families each year.
We are an inclusive happy school and are proud of our school and of our diverse school community. We have achieved our Gold Unicef Rights Respecting School Award and a respect for children's rights threads through our work.
Both staff and governors are committed to ensuring the best possible outcomes for all our children and we achieved a judgment of Outstanding at our last Ofsted inspection in June 2025.
Our staff team of highly experienced teachers and teaching assistants work together to provide an exciting range of learning opportunities that engage children of all needs and abilities, and encourage them to become confident and independent learners.
