About

Giffards Primary School continues to be a GOOD school Ofsted March 2022 Choosing a school for your son or daughter is likely to be one of the most important decisions that any parent makes.

Many factors need to be considered, such as the standard of teaching, the academic standing of the school, the range of subjects taught, the standard of discipline and the general ethos of the school. Our school motto is Valuing everyone as learners Our shared vision includes recognising that each child is an individual and as such is unique.

We work closely as a team: striving to attain the highest possible outcomes for all our children, where inclusion of all learners is a central goal. We seek to provide all our learners with the best possible start to life and we will work with the necessary support services wherever possible.

As a school we embrace the principles of Every Child Matters and these principles guide all we do.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.

Governing body (16 current, 5 former)

iAcademy trust: local governing body and trust board.

15 governors are linked to a profile (13 confirmed, 2 (likely)).

Governors marked “Confirmed same person” have exactly the same forename and surname as the only officer of that name at the school’s own academy trust company on the Companies House register, so we treat them as the same person. The governance record itself comes from DfE.
