Headteacher’s Welcome

A heartfelt welcome to Gentleshaw Primary Academy.

As the new Headteacher, I am proud to be leading a school rooted in the belief that every child can achieve more than they think possible. At the heart of Gentleshaw is a commitment to limitless learning and challenge for all – the idea that every child deserves to be stretched, inspired and supported to thrive.

We care deeply about every pupil and are relentless in our focus on doing what is right for children. High standards, strong values and a determination to provide the best possible education guide every decision we make.

Learning at Gentleshaw goes far beyond the classroom. Through trips, visitors, performances, clubs and special projects, we provide a rich and varied programme of enrichment that broadens horizons, sparks curiosity and builds confidence. Children here are encouraged to lead, to take risks, and to grow as well-rounded individuals.

Our expectations are ambitious because we believe in the potential of every child – academically, socially and emotionally. Our dedicated staff create a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment where pupils feel valued, supported and inspired to give their very best.

If you would like to see more of what makes Gentleshaw so special, please do get in touch – I would be delighted to welcome you personally.

With warmest regards, always,

Miss S Roobaert

Headteacher
