The whole of Gifford is behind you… Wishing the Three Lions the very best of luck in the Quarter Finals! Come on, England!

Our Year 5 and Year 6 Boys' Cricket Team represented Gifford Primary School at the Ealing Cricket Finals after successfully qualifying through the group stages.

The team demonstrated excellent determination, teamwork and sportsmanship throughout the competition. After progressing from the group stage, they reached the semi-finals, where they narrowly missed out on a place in the final. Despite this, they finished the tournament in an impressive third place across the borough.

This is a fantastic achievement, and we are incredibly proud of the team's effort, resilience and positive attitude. Reaching the semi-finals of such a competitive event is a testament to their hard work and commitment.

Congratulations to all of the players on representing the school so brilliantly. Well done, team!

Gifford was proud to host a truly memorable International Fair, celebrating the rich cultures, traditions and diversity within our wonderful school community. Families enjoyed an afternoon filled with colourful stalls, delicious food from around the world, live music, performances from our talented choir and a fantastic community atmosphere. Children and adults alike came together to celebrate what makes Gifford such a special and welcoming place.

It was wonderful to see so many families attending, supporting one another and sharing in the joy of the event. A huge thank you goes to our dedicated staff, stall holders, performers and everyone who helped make the fair such a great success. We are incredibly proud of the strong sense of unity, pride and belonging shown throughout the day.

Gifford Primary School was filled with creativity, imagination and a love of literature as we celebrated World Book Day 2026 with a special Shakespearean theme.

Pupils across the school explored the magic of storytelling through a range of exciting activities including themed lessons, drama workshops, reading sessions and creative costume designs inspired by famous literary characters. From kings and queens to poets and playwrights, our classrooms were transformed into vibrant spaces where books truly came to life.

Families also joined us for special reading opportunities, helping to strengthen our shared commitment to promoting a lifelong love of reading. Events like these reflect the strong reading culture at Gifford, where pupils’ creativity and enthusiasm for books are celebrated across all year groups.

World Book Day at Gifford was a wonderful reminder that stories connect us, inspire us and help us grow as confident readers and learners.

Our newly unveiled reading display showcases the fantastic work of pupils from every year group, celebrating their creativity, effort and love of reading. Unveiled alongside members of the Gifford Government, Miss Cadman and Ms Wilson, the display reflects the rich reading culture and learning journeys taking place across our school.

A wintry welcome back ❄️ The first snow of 2026 fell on our school grounds as pupils and staff returned to school on Tuesday 6th January, creating a calm and memorable start to the new term. Happy New Year to all our families.

Thank you to everyone who helped make our Winter Fair such a fantastic success. From the magical grotto and snow bubbles to the real reindeers and the wide variety of stalls, the atmosphere was truly festive from start to finish.

We are incredibly grateful to our stallholders, staff, pupils and parents for your time, energy and support — it was a wonderful community event enjoyed by all.
