We were delighted to welcome our local MP, Kemi Badenoch, to GWPS recently for a very special occasion – the official opening of our brand new classroom.

Mrs. Badenoch had the honour of cutting the ribbon and marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for our school. She has since written to us to share her thanks, saying how much she appreciated the opportunity to be part of such a memorable event.

During her visit, Mrs. Badenoch spoke with our local Councillors; Cllr Steel and Cllr Ball, school staff, members of the FOGWS committee, and our Year 6 pupils. She praised the pupils for their “maturity and enthusiasm”, noting that they are “a real credit to the nurturing environment of the school that the headteacher has created.”

She also commented on the positive impact of the new classroom, describing it as “a wonderful addition to the school which will serve as a vibrant and engaging learning environment for years to come.”

Before leaving, Mrs. Badenoch expressed her gratitude to the whole GWPS team, highlighting the dedication and commitment that was evident throughout her visit.

This was a proud and memorable day for our school community, and we look forward to many happy learning experiences in our new classroom.

Thank you to all of our North America parents that attended our class lunch.

The atmosphere was wonderful, and Year 6 parents even had the pleasure of staying for a game of rounders… obviously the children won!

What a truly wonderful show our pupils delivered!

We are very proud of the singing, dancing and acting that we witnessed throughout the production. Most importantly, it was clear that the children really enjoyed themselves. Well done to all involved.

Thank you so much to everyone that supported our summer fete. It was wonderful to see so many families enjoying this special community event together. The FOGWS outdid themselves once again, creating a fantastic atmosphere with games and stalls for the children, a delicious BBQ, and wonderful music that brought everyone together. We would like to thank the entire FOGWS team, with special recognition to Mrs Mitson, our chair, whose tireless efforts made this event such a success.

We have had a fantastic time at district sports this year. Everyone that took part behaved impeccably and tried their absolute best! They were the epitome of our ASPIRE values. 

The field events took place on Monday 9th June. Our team of year 6 children were brilliant! The throwing, long jump and high jump events were all a pleasure to watch. 

The track events took place on Monday 16th June. This involved children from across Key Stage Two. We finished in the top three in most events.  Our year 6 girls team need a particular mention - they won every event. Our relay team absolutely smashed their opponents.  Our overall placing in the whole competition was 3rd in the Small Schools group. This is a fantastic achievement. 

Well done to all of our iRockers for a fantastic concert!  All of our bands put on fantastic performances.
