Gateford Park Primary School is a friendly and welcoming primary school at the heart of the Gateford community in Worksop. Our school opened in February 2000, originally established to serve the growing community of north-west Worksop. Since then, generations of children and families have been part of our school community and we are proud of the place Gateford Park holds within our local area.

Today, we provide education for children from Nursery through to Year 6. Led by our Headteacher, Mrs Joanna Green, our dedicated team works together to ensure that every child is known, valued and encouraged to achieve their very best.

At Gateford Park, we want every child to feel happy, safe and ready to learn. We have high expectations for learning and behaviour, while recognising that every child is unique and may need different opportunities and support to thrive.

Our school is built around our PARK values:

Perseverance • Aspiration • Respect • Kindness

These values shape the way we learn, behave and work together and are reflected in our school motto:

“With kindness we care, with respect we grow and with perseverance we succeed.”

We believe that primary school should provide children with much more than academic success. Alongside a rich and ambitious curriculum, we want our children to develop confidence, curiosity, resilience and a strong sense of belonging. We aim to give them experiences and opportunities that help prepare them for the next stage of their education and for life beyond school.

Relationships are at the heart of Gateford Park. We value the partnership between children, families, staff, governors and our wider community and believe that we achieve the best outcomes for children when we work together.

As we build on more than 25 years of Gateford Park, we are proud of our school's story and excited about its future. Whether you are already part of our community or are considering joining us, we hope our website gives you a sense of the happy, caring and ambitious school we are.
