Every school needs healthy relationships to succeed.
Because we are a village school, we are unique in that our staff members are familiar with every student and understand what makes them tick, what they may need assistance with, and what their talents are.
Our kids get to know one another better because of the smaller year groups.
Every year, I see how well-developed their relationships with one another are as they graduate from our school.
At William Gilpin, we want to provide kids with a wonderful overall experience.
We provide children with time for meditation and thought because we have a strong Christian ethos, and I believe this is something they need need in their hectic lives.
Children have the chance to participate in a range of sporting events and competitions in addition to their academic studies; in fact, we are well renowned for our excellent sportsmanship and competitive spirit.
Our 'Arts Mark' award honours how William Gilpin has incorporated the arts into daily life. The arts are particularly important to us.
Being the headteacher of such a dynamic, prosperous, and welcoming school is an honour.
I'm aware that, fairly or unfairly, my performance will be assessed by how content and successful your child is.
Every day, I'll work hard to make sure your child has a wonderful time here.
