Gallions Primary School

Gallions Primary School opened in September 1999. We are a community school for boys and girls aged 3 to 11 years of age. Our school has superb facilities, including a large hall, dining hall, music and drama room, a state of the art computer suite and library.The governors and staff share a vision of the importance of the arts in educating young people. Many staff have expertise in the creative arts and all the staff are committed to developing their skills in all arts areas. This expertise is used to teach lessons through music, dance, drama and art that are exciting, meaningful and challenging for all pupils. We realise the importance of performing and the confidence it instils in children so all children participate in major productions each year.We are determined that our children will be successful and will go on to secondary school as confident, highly educated pupils.The philosophy of the schoolGallions was established to teach the curriculum creatively, using the arts. All teaching and support staff and governors share this aim. Everyone who works here believes that the arts are vital to our spiritual and intellectual development and well-being. We are not all experts in every art form but we are all willing to learn as much as possible, to undertake new challenges and to believe that, with good teaching and enough practice, our children will achieve their full potential.
