I am delighted to welcome you to Cross Gates Primary School. We are a one-form entry primary school where children aged 2 to 11 are known and valued as individuals who are supported to achieve their full potential. Our vision of "Aspire, Learn, Succeed" underpinned by our 7R values, permeate throughout school.

At Cross Gates Primary School, we believe that learning should be exciting, creative and inspiring. We are committed to providing a broad and engaging curriculum that encourages curiosity, fosters creativity and develops a love of learning. We have high expectations and ambitions for our children. Our staff work hard to ensure that children not only achieve academic success but also grow into respectful, resilient and responsible young people.

One of the many strengths of being a smaller school is the close, positive relationships we are able to build with our children and families. This helps us to create a caring and supportive community where everyone feels a strong sense of belonging. We pride ourselves on our nurturing and inclusive environment in which children feel safe, confident and motivated to succeed.

At the heart of our school is a commitment to inclusion and it runs through everything we do, from the way we teach and learn, to the way we support wellbeing and encourage pupil voice. We celebrate diversity and ensure that every child feels respected, supported and able to thrive. Our staff are dedicated to removing barriers, adapting to individual needs, and ensuring that every pupil has the opportunity to succeed, both academically and personally. We are very proud of this, and of the way our children show kindness and respect towards one another and embody our inclusive ethos every day.

I hope our website provides you with an insight into the life of our school. Please do come and visit us – we would be delighted to welcome you in and show you around.

Kind Regards,

Sophie Wilkinson

Acting Head Teacher
