This morning our key stage two children had the incredible experience of a live performance by the classical pianist Clare Hammond. It was hugely inspiring to have such a talented musician in our school, answering our questions and demonstrating her passion for her instrument.

We had a great assembly to start the term all about the importance of taking personal responsibility.
We also celebrated being awarded our silver award from the Anti-Bullying Alliance! Well done everyone.

As the term draws to a close, we would like to thank all our brilliant children, staff and parents at Gotherington!

Thank you so much for the kind words and gifts, they are never expected but truly appreciated!

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

What a fantastic two days of Christmas performances.
The children were all brilliant!

Thank you so much to all our wonderful staff for supporting our children and a huge thank you to parents for practising at home in preparation for the performances.

We've had some truly inspirational assemblies over the last few weeks. The children have learnt about breaking down the barriers of disability, future careers and our Y6 children led an incredibly moving and respectful Remembrance Assembly #GotheringtonGOALS #remembranceday2023

What an amazing difference our new classrooms have made to our learning environment!

Instead of 'Fun time Friday' we had a 'Wonderful Wednesday' lunchtime full of dancing and having fu n!

What a lovely learning walk.
The children are all so engaged in their learning and can't wait to show you their books after school today!
Thank you so much to our amazing Teachers and TPs who work so hard to create fantastic learning opportunities every day. #GotheringtonGOALS
