Welcome to William Gilpin Church of England VA Primary School
At William Gilpin School, we aim to develop all children so that they achieve their full potential. We do this by recognising and building upon their strengths and by identifying their individual needs and ensuring that these are met.
We believe that children learn best through first-hand experience and our enriching curriculum is designed with this in mind so that pupils are stimulated and motivated to learn. Children are encouraged to take on an increasing level of responsibility for their learning, which promotes confidence and independence as they strive for personal excellence.
We have high expectations of our pupils and promote the highest standards of behaviour, based on strong moral values and respect for others in our learning community and beyond.
Our school, founded in 1791 by the Reverend Willian Gilpin, is steeped in history and we look forward to welcoming you and your child to be a part of its future.
