The Gillingstool Vision

At Gillingstool, inclusivity and wellbeing are at the heart of everything we do for our children.

In partnership with our families and the wider community, we provide a nurturing environment within a vibrant and caring school – inspiring our children’s passion for ambitious, life-long learning.

This is delivered through consistently high standards in teaching and learning encouraging creative and curious minds.

By working together, with respect, enthusiasm and care towards all others, we at Gillingstool promote happiness, good behaviour, kindness and honesty.
