We look forward to welcoming all of our famillies back to school at 8:40am on Tuesday 5th September. 

As we find ourselves at the end of the school year, I am extremely proud of all of our pupils and our dedicated staff. This year has been a very successful one for Gifford Primary School. We have received a number of awards over the academic year; Healthy Schools Silver, Safeguarding Gold, Ealing ARTs Charter, School Games Gold, Music Mark, National School Attendance and we were awarded an area of Excellence for improving the life chances of vulnerable children. Our year has also included exciting activities, trips and visitors, as well as high quality teaching, learning and fantastic results across the school.

We say goodbye to our Year 6 children, I wish them all the best with their new adventures in High School. For everyone else we look forward to welcoming you all back to school at 8:40am on Tuesday 5th September 2023. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff, parents and pupils on behalf of the Governing Board and wish you all an enjoyable and relaxing summer.

What a fantastic day! Thank you to all of our stall holders, caterers, fair ground providers and staff for making our Summer Fair a huge success! Thank you to everyone in our local community that attended.

What a fabulous few Sports Day's we have had! It was great to see so many Parents and Carers. Thank you all.

Last Friday, Year 3 visited Shoebury Common Beach. The trip provided opportunities for pupils to embed and extend locational and place knowledge, as well as geographical skills, extending their knowledge and understanding beyond the local area to include Southend-on-Sea. The children were able to experience first-hand the beauty of coastal flora and fauna, whilst also experiencing tidal forecasts, which were also explored within the unit.

The Library ran a competition just before last half term for a new book cover for the book “How to train your dragon” Lots of children entered and the quality of the drawing was extremely high. Whilst there were 5 or 6 consolation prizes of a book, the overall winner was Faith in Year 5. Faith’s cover was outstanding and she was the worthy winner of the whole series of “How to train your dragon” a set of 12 books. Happy reading and huge congratulations!
