We always welcome prospective parents and families to come and look around Gastrells School by appointment whenever is convenient, but we do also have an Open Morning coming up more specifically for parents and families with children who will be joining reception in September 2026.

Friday 7th November 9:30 – 12:30

At Gastrells, we believe every child deserves to flourish — academically, socially, and emotionally. Our nurturing, inclusive environment helps children develop curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning from their very first day.

Join us for one of our Open Mornings and take a tour led by our Yr 6 children, to see our school and wonderful grounds as well as seeing our Reception class in action. Meet our dedicated Early Years team, and experience the warmth and creativity that make Gastrells a special place to start school.

You’ll discover:

  • A vibrant Early Years environment where play and exploration drive learning.
  • A strong focus on personal development and wellbeing, ensuring every child feels valued and safe.
  • Our PRIDE values (Positvity, Respect, Inclusivity, Determination and Challenge and Excellence) at the heart of everything we do.
  • A curriculum focussed on experiential. learning is designed to spark curiosity, foster independence and build strong foundations for future learning and living.

Come and see how Gastrells helps children take their first steps with confidence and joy.
