Gorseland is a larger than average, two-form entry primary school with a large nursery and two specialist units. We are an inclusive learning community where children and staff alike value being ready, respectful and safe in our endeavours to be the best we can be. As a staff, we feel it is our duty to foster and celebrate a love of learning through developing children who are self-confident, hardworking and resilient. Happy children who achieve success academically, socially and emotionally are proud children, a pride that extends to the adults who guide and support them here at Gorseland.
