At Gatcombe Park Primary School we believe that all children have the right to receive the very best education in their time with us. We believe that irrespective of age, gender, ethnicity, religion or disability, all children will be included and supported in their learning journey.

Striving for our best, persevering, being resilient and learning from others are all essential attributes that will prepare our children for life beyond primary school and indeed are vital life-long skills. Communication skills are at the core of our curriculum, as are the social skills of tolerance and empathy towards others.

We believe that it is our duty to prepare children to live and prosper as part of a wider community, with a life- long curiosity and love of learning.
