GILLINGHAM PRIMARY SCHOOL

We are committed to excellence. We want the best for all our children and staff, and we hope and expect that everyone will give of their best.

We aim to be a true community school, working in partnership with parents and carers, and encouraging every child to participate actively in the life of the school and the local community. We hope that our parents will support their own children and take an interest in the success and development of the whole school.

We aim to provide a happy and safe community, where everyone is valued, and recognises their part in the success and happiness of the school. We respect and value every person, whatever their gender, race, social or cultural background, and we encourage everyone to give of their best at all times and to contribute all that they can to our life together.

We promote the qualities of enthusiasm, curiosity, creativity and determination. Where children are in difficulty, we aim for them to move forward, making changes that bring greater success, and helping them to raise their expectations of what they can achieve - and change their behaviour, too, if this is needed.

Through the shared high expectations of parents, teachers and governors in every aspect of school life, we aim for all our children to develop their potential to the full, take a pride in everything they achieve, and grow and learn with confidence.
