Headteacher's Welcome

Explore
Welcome to Gainsborough!

School Facilities

Explore
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.

School Development Priorities

Explore
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.

Our Mission

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

Anti-Racist Statement

Explore
Primary Advantage Governors have adopted the anti racist statement drafted by Hackney Headteachers at their conference held on 18th March 2022. As Hackney Headteachers, we jointly affirm our full commitment and continued action to the best possible safeguarding of every child in our care, ensuring a safeguarding first approach always applies. We know that we have already been doing work to eliminate racism in our schools, but recognise that there is much work to be done. We recognise that Black and Global Majority children face racism in Hackney and beyond: we are committed to and will act on taking forward anti-racist practice.

Who We Are

Explore
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.

Rights Respecting School

Explore
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.

Inclusion and Equalities

Explore
At Gainsborough school we welcome and value all children equally irrespective of special educational need or disability. We are committed to providing equal access, for all children, to a broad and balanced social and academic curriculum, including the new National Curriculum, and to the life of the school.

SEND

Explore
With reference to Article 23 from the UN convention of the Rights of the Child: Children who have any kind of disability have the right to special care and support, as well as all the rights in the Convention, so that they can live full and independent lives.
