Our Core Values
At Parish, we value each person as they are, seeing every member of our school family as a precious, unique individual and treating them with dignity. Seeking first to understand through the building of relationships, we live in a community of hope. We aspire to enable each person to be a curious learner, inspired to develop the knowledge and wisdom to make the world a better place. We strive to encourage all to fulfil their God-given potential, having a confidence in transformation for the better.




Lincoln Anglican Academy Trust (LAAT) is a Multi Academy Trust which was set up by the Diocese of Lincoln in 2013 to build a mutually supportive family of academies in Greater Lincolnshire who support each other in providing the very best outcomes for their pupils.

Gainsborough Parish is a warm, happy school at the heart of our community. We offer our pupils a carefully planned, engaging curriculum with an emphasis on our Christian values of Community, Dignity, Hope and Wisdom. There are a wide range of exciting extracurricular opportunities available to them through our Kids Hang Out at Parish Club, and we offer excellent nurture and pastoral support. With strong links with our local community, particularly the church, we make sure our families are closely involved with their children's learning.

‘Staff at the school support not only the child but the whole family and have been true diamonds throughout my child’s time at the school.'
'Pupils behave well. Playtimes and lunchtimes are happy times. Lessons are calm. Pupils listen when asked and follow the instructions their teachers give. '

The Year 6 children thoroughly enjoyed completing their geography fieldwork study. They had the opportunity to ask members of the public their questionnaires to find out opinions about the changes in Gainsborough Market Place. We were so proud of how confidently and respectfully the children spoke to the public while gathering their research. Ask us what we found out!

Absolutely amazing! Year 4 had a blast exploring Magna today so many handson discoveries and big smiles all round!

Year 1 celebrated filling their class jar with stars with a little bubble dance party this afternoon and a little bubble wand to take home. Well done Year 1, you all deserved a treat!

Team 2 are collecting empty cereal boxes for our Great Fire of London topic next term. If you have any spare at home, we would really appreciate you sending them into school. Thank you!

With some rainy and unsettled weather on the way, please can we remind all families to send children in with a coat every day. Even when it's drizzly, we still make the most of outdoor play and learning, so having the right clothing helps everyone stay warm, dry and comfortable. Thank you for your support!

So lovely to get outside where we've made some bug hotels at make and grow club tonight, one of us has even got our first customer!

Next week, our year 5 and 6 children will become scientists as they investigate thermal insulators through a fun real-life challenge! They will test different cups and materials to discover which keeps drinks warmer for longer while staying safe to hold. We can't wait to see their scientific thinking and teamwork in action! #beinschool

Year 5/6 took part in a really informative workshop today all about malicious communication and staying safe online. We discussed how we use social media and group chats, explored some of the worries and concerns that can arise and talked about ways to manage and use social media and group chats safely and responsibly. A really valuable session with lots of thoughtful discussions from the children. A huge thank you to Dan from the Stay Safe Partnership for leading such an engaging and informative workshop.

What a lovely way for our Year 6s to end the week receiving their Year 6 leavers hoodies! They all look absolutely fantastic and wore them with pride. Such a special milestone as they make memories together in their final term with us!

Mrs Jones Make and Grow club are making bug hotels on Monday - if you have any paper tubes or garden canes that you no longer want please could you pop them into school!
