Welcome
As the headteacher of Eastergate CE Primary School, I am delighted to welcome you to our friendly and nurturing school.
We hope our website gives you a window into our wonderful school and a flavour of what makes our school community so special and unique. Our school is in a semi-rural setting, surrounded by fields and next to a farm, which is the site of St George’s Church, the local parish church.
I am delighted to introduce myself as the Headteacher of Eastergate CE Primary School. It is a privilege to be leading, and part of such an amazing school community. Our strapline is to ‘Learn Grow and Achieve Together in God’s Love’ and this is something that we aspire to for all our children and staff team.
At Eastergate CE Primary School we want children to come to school and to learn and achieve their best in terms of both their academic and personal development. We want them to make friends and to learn to collaborate and help one another in their work and play. Our goal is to ensure children feel safe, happy and excited about their learning, and to enable them to be ready for their next adventure in life.
We have a dedicated staff team, who are all deeply committed in supporting all of our children, who go above and beyond, to equip all of our children with the necessary skills and knowledge to be the best they can be. We are an inclusive school and use a therapeutic behaviour approach which prioritises children's mental health and wellbeing alongside their social, academic and spiritual development.
Our curriculum journey is rich and builds on opportunities and resources in our local community and gradually takes children further afield for trips and visits. Every child is seen as being unique; offering a special contribution to our school family. We have a strong sense of community in our school and work to develop a sense of responsibility in our children as they grow and mature.
Our Christian distinctiveness shapes our school vision and is the golden thread that provides the context and foundation of everything we do here at Eastergate. A close partnership with our local Parish church supports our children on their individual faith journey through collective worship and special times during the year. Our clear vision and values enable our children to make decisions and choices every day, that will enable them to flourish.
We believe our school is a very special place and we offer a warm welcome to you and your family. If you would like to find out more and visit the school, please contact the school office to arrange a time suitable time.
