Gatehouse is an exceptionally welcoming school providing a safe, secure and warm environment for children to learn in. A recent survey of parents felt that this was a most important aspect of the school.Our whole school staff is dedicated and hard working and we are very well supported by an active school association and Governing body.

The school takes up to 60 children in each year group and currently organises them in two parallel classes of 30 or less. The Governors place a high importance in maintaining these small class sizes. We have invested heavily in new technologies to enhance learning and benefit from having extensive grounds, which have been well developed to provide great play and learning spaces. The school council is currently engaged in planning for the installation of further outdoor play equipment for use during break times, while the staff and Governors are planning to upgrade the buildings further to provide learning spaces more suitable for today’s curriculum.
