At Gilmour we pride ourselves on offering the best all round education for the best pupils in the city. From the arts to sport, from classroom work to outdoor education we really learn together and grow together. I hope this web site gives a small taste of life at Gilmour Juniors in all its many and varied activities.
We have over recent years boasted of city champions in our teams and our individual successes. Our football teams have played at Anfield and Goodison Park, our touch rugby team has had national success. Every year we have an arts week where our children experience the whole range of the field of art from rock to classical, soaps to Shakespeare, circus to musicals.
This is reflected in our artsmark gold award. We are a vibrant, alive school because of our wonderful children and dedicated staff, so please enjoy our site and pay us a visit in person, just telephone our office to make an appointment.
