About

At Gorsey Bank Primary, we believe that whatever your child's interests or talents, instilling a love of learning is the most important thing we can do for them. We are proud of the fact that in our latest Ofsted inspection, we were graded as 'Outstanding' as inspectors recognised our pupils are inspired and motivated to be aspirational for their future lives.

We will do whatever it takes to prepare your child for a successful life beyond our walls, opening doors to the future of their choice – whatever that may be!

At Gorsey Bank Primary, as in all Laurus Trust Schools , our ethos derives from a firm belief that all pupils are entitled to an excellent state education, incorporating learning and enrichment opportunities that rival those offered in the best private schools.

We are unwavering in our belief that everyone should have high aspirations for their future and never be disadvantaged by their circumstances. We will do whatever it takes to ensure that all pupils benefit from a curriculum that goes well beyond statutory requirements and equips them to make a positive contribution to their local and global community, now and in the future.

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