A warm welcome to Gossops Green Primary; we provide a calm, purposeful learning environment that strives to provide exceptional education and the best learning opportunities possible for all. We have a talented and dedicated team of staff and governors who, along with expertise from The Collegiate Trust, all work together to make learning rich, exciting and purposeful. We are delighted that this is recognised by Ofsted (June 2025), where we are judged to have maintained standards as a GOOD school with OUTSTANDING for our Early Years and Leadership and Management. We feel privileged that our parents and carers have placed their trust in us to educate, nurture and develop their children and we repay this faith with a deep commitment to delivering the most ambitious education possible.

Ofsted commented that at Gossops Green ‘pupils thrive in this joyful, caring and ambitious school’ and it is true that above all else, this is a happy school where children feel valued, listened to and safe. We are particularly proud of our emphasis on Wellbeing and Nurture because we know that a happy child will go on to thrive in their education.

Our personal development of pupils is described as ‘exceptional’ and our dedicated work on mental health is deemed to be ‘transformative for pupils’ (Ofsted, June 2025). At Gossops Green we value the whole child and develop their emotional, physical and mental wellbeing, alongside their academic learning. In essence, we want the same things for your child as we would want for our own and your child becomes our child, with every lesson, experience, conversation and playtime having this ethos at its heart.

Our creative and ambitious curriculum is planned around topics which spark children’s interest and make them happy to learn and thrive in lessons. Pupils with Special Education Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND) ‘achieve highly’ (Ofsted, June 2025). We build in many memorable experiences to bring learning alive and meaningful for our children. Indeed, our fantastic Year 6’s reminisce fondly about the many experiences they have had during their time at Gossops Green when they leave us as confident, resilient, and fulfilled learners, ready for secondary school.

Central to our approach to learning at Gossops Green, is our belief in the importance of reading. There are no limits to what a child can achieve if they can read. We work in partnership with our supportive parents and carers to ensure that every child is a confident and fluent reader, able to access all learning and achieve to their best potential.

We also teach our children to be considerate and care for their school, their community, and for one another. Gossops Green children learn that they have the power to make the world a fairer, kinder place and they are nurtured to develop confidence, to articulate their ideas and to be proud of who they are.

We look forward to meeting you and your child and working in partnership to ensure that your trust in us is rewarded with a happy, fulfilled child set firmly on the path to success as a life-long learner.

Best wishes

Mrs S Dunne
Principal
