Welcome to Gainsborough!

The school is arranged over 4 floors. All of our classes are named after British Birds that the children may encounter in the parks and gardens of Hackney.

Every academic year, along with the school’s governing body, we set targets to continue the school’s journey towards being outstanding and realising our vision for the children of Gainsborough.

See below for our School Vision Statement and details about Gainsborough Keeps.

Gainsborough Primary School is a one-form entry community school with a Nursery, Preschool and a Children’s Centre. The children in our care range from six months to eleven years old. We admit up to 30 children in each of our classes.

Gainsborough Primary School is a rights respecting school.  This means that we put the 54 articles in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) at the heart of everything we do. As a school we promote children’s rights and empower them to become global citizens. The UNCRC recognises that all children around the world are entitled to these rights.
