We would like to thank all staff, parents, and pupils for a great Academic Year and wish you all an enjoyable and relaxing summer. 

We are delighted to share our Ofsted report with you. Please find it attached.

We are thrilled to share with you the wonderful experiences our Year 5 pupils had during their recent on-site camping adventure. The event was filled with joy, excitement, and numerous activities that not only entertained the children but also helped them build lifelong memories.

From the moment the tents were pitched, the atmosphere was buzzing with enthusiasm. The children participated in a variety of outdoor activities, including nature walks, team-building exercises and campfire storytelling. Each activity was designed to encourage collaboration, foster new friendships, and enhance their appreciation for the great outdoors.

The camp also provided valuable learning experiences. The children practiced important life skills such as setting up tents, cooking simple meals, and understanding the importance of teamwork and communication. These activities were not only fun but also educational, helping to build their confidence and independence.

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Ace Adventure Camping and all staff members and volunteers who made this camping experience possible. Their dedication and hard work ensured that everything ran smoothly and safely, allowing the children to fully enjoy their time at camp.

Thank you for your continued support. We are proud of our Year 5 pupils and the wonderful memories they have created during this camping experience. We look forward to more exciting adventures in the future!

Year 6 children who went to watch The Lion King at London's West End had an amazing evening! Thank you to John Lyon’s Charity for funding the trip. Our children thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful opportunity, for which we are incredibly grateful.

Congratulations to our Year 5 and Year 6 QuadKids Athletics Team who took part in their competition at Perivale Track last week. A team competition where each individual performance contributes to the overall score of the team. Our ‘A’ Team managed to finish 1^st and our ‘B’ Team finished 2^nd bringing home Gold and Silver medals respectively. A fantastic performance and a warm up event for the Summer Athletics in a few weeks time. Well done!

Huge congratulations to our Year 5 and Year 6 Sitting Volleyball team. Having won their competition earlier on in the year we hosted St Gregory’s Primary in the Ealing Borough final. After a tough start the team battled from one set down to win the match by the tightest of margins and claim victory. As a result of being crowned Borough champions the team have been chosen to represent the Borough of Ealing at the London Youth Games later on in the year. A phenomenal achievement and one to be incredibly proud of. Let’s give it our all at the London Youth Games and make sure we represent our school and the London Borough of Ealing well!

Last week saw us celebrate the amazing diversity at Gifford. It was so fantastic top see so many of our children, staff and families embracing the diverse culture and joining with us to celebrate.

We were also lucky enough to have performances by Living Church and Just Dance Kids. Both performances were amazing and we hope you will join us in thanking them for providing such brilliant entertainment.

Families were very happy and gave lots of positive feedback. Next year we are hoping to make it bigger and better! If you would like to be involved in this or future events, please send an email to parentsupport@gifford.ealing.sch.uk and we will be in touch.

In their science lessons, children in Year 6 have been studying the circulatory and cardiac systems. They had the incredible chance to examine and dissect lamb hearts. 

It’s been a cracking week as we welcomed 5 fluffy friends into Early Years at Gifford Primary. 

This year we immersed into spellbinding characters and embraced the magic of story telling by dressing up as wizards and witches. Please click here to watch the magic on our YouTube Channel. "I just wanted to say how utterly impressed I was by all the effort made by the school and children for world book day ‘witches and wizards’. Having just watched the YouTube video I can see what great lengths the school took in order to make this a memorable, fun and utterly enjoyable day for the children. Perhaps the theme could be an annual event as it seemed so much fun and it really was such a joy to see so many happy and excited children yesterday." Parent of Alicia, 2 Bleriot.
