Welcome to Gillamoor CE Primary School

Welcome to our website

Gillamoor CE Primary School endeavours to create a happy, secure and stimulating environment in which children learn to live first and foremost as children rather that future adults. WE aim to educate the ‘whole child’ and pupils are encouraged to develop lively, enquiring minds, a sense of self- esteem and the self-discipline that comes from working in an orderly school environment. WE offer a very varied curriculum that makes this aspiration easier to achieve.

We aim that all members of out school community transmit Christian values and attitudes that foster self- esteem and respect for others; and develop caring and enquiring minds. As a Church of England foundation school we have strong links with the local church and our wider community giving the children a real sense of security and purpose. The education of children cannot happen in isolation and we believe the partnership between home and school is very important. We are lucky to have a very supportive and active parental network.

Most children come from Bransdale, Farndale, Fadmoor and Gillamoor. Many children also come from out of catchment such as Nawton and Kirkbymoorside.

Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions parents ever make, and there will no doubt be many questions you will want to ask. I hope this website will provide an answer to them, but if you require further information please do not hesitate to get in touch with us. We encourage you to visit and find out for yourself.
