The Gainsborough Parish Church C.E. Primary School

We are incredibly proud to celebrate another fantastic year of success with our Phonics Screening Check results! A phenomenal 95% of our Year 1 children passed this year's Phonics Screening Check, once again placing us above the national average. This achievement reflects our shared vision of journeying together with hope and aspiration. Every child has worked hard, our dedicated staff have inspired and nurtured a love of reading, and our families have provided invaluable support every step of the way. Together, we are giving our children the strong foundations they need to flourish and achieve their full potential. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. We are so proud of all our children and look forward to seeing them continue to grow as confident, enthusiastic readers. Well done, everyone – another wonderful milestone on our journey together!

A huge thank you! We would like to say a sincere and heartfelt thank you for your support last week with the temporary changes to uniform and the school day while we navigated the red heat warning.

Over the last two weeks, we have travelled back in time to learn all about dinosaurs! The children became little paleontologists, excavating fossils, learning about different dinosaurs, and discovering what they may have sounded like. In Maths, we have been learning all about measuring, doubles, odds & evens. The children have had a truly roarsome time! #ParishProud

On Friday in our reading instruction lesson, Year 5 worked incredibly hard finding evidence to identify all the worries inside Matthew's head. We are thoroughly enjoying The Goldfish Boy book and have loved exploring the character's thoughts and feelings. We can't wait to find out what happens next!
