As the headteacher of Eastergate CE Primary School, I am delighted to welcome you to our friendly and nurturing school. We hope our website gives you a window into our wonderful school and a flavour of what makes our school community so special and unique.
Our school is in a semi-rural setting, surrounded by fields and next to a farm, which is the site of St George's Church, the local parish church. I am delighted to introduce myself as the Headteacher of Eastergate CE Primary School. It is a privilege to be leading, and part of such an amazing school community.
Our strapline is to Learn Grow and Achieve Together in God's Love and this is something that we aspire to for all our children and staff team.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
