From the Gascoigne Primary School
At Gascoigne Primary School, we fully understand the importance of and need to work in partnership with our parents and carers; we would like the children to be provided with the best support and guidance from their adults, in order to achieve their full potential. We must establish clear communication channels if we are to develop this kind of enduring and reliable relationship. Because of our "open door" approach, parents and carers are always welcome to ask to speak with any staff member, including a member of the Senior Leadership Team. Alternately, if you need to speak with a teacher after class, they will be happy to make time for you. Please check our website frequently as we are always constructing new pages and adding new content. You may also download the app for your smartphone from the app store by searching for Gascoigne Primary. We have also made the app "active." We want our students to represent the community as ambassadors, and we push them to behave admirably. We welcome positive emails from members of the local area praising our children for displaying integrity; please feel free to email me directly using the 'contact form' under the 'Contact Us' heading. A page on this website explains how our behaviour code, Stay on Green, helps kids make the correct decisions.
