Welcome to Gastrells Primary School

Welcome from the Headteacher – Mrs Helen Seward

Gastrells Primary School has a proud history and an exciting future. We are a welcoming school where children feel valued, safe and inspired to succeed.

Our approach is guided by our PRIDE values. We promote Positivity, encouraging confidence, enthusiasm and a love of learning. Respect is central to our community, helping everyone care for themselves, others and the environment. We celebrate Inclusivity, ensuring every child feels they belong and has equal opportunities to thrive.

Through Determination and Challenge, we support children to build resilience and a growth mindset. Above all, we strive for Excellence, helping every pupil achieve their best and grow into confident, compassionate individuals.

These values underpin all aspects of school life and create a supportive learning environment where children can succeed both academically and personally.

It’s friendly, they support you, they help everyone in different circumstances with different needs. They push you towards achieving your goals. It’s a fun school, you learn while having fun. The teachers are really fun. It’s a great place and friendly environment. They do lots of sport. I love it because it’s an amazing school and because of all the opportunities I’ve had and all the times I’ve pushed myself and achieved my goals.
