  We are thrilled with your continued support for all that we are striving to achieve at Gateford Park.  There were several comments left on the forms which we take very seriously and will look at in detail with the Governing Body and Parent Champions group over the last half term of the year, in readiness for the new school year.
   
  Once again, thank you for your support.  Working together, we will make GP an even better place to be!

• Leading Parent Partnership Award

  Mon 20 May 2013
  We are delighted to let you know that after a twelve month programme and a rigorous final assessment, today we have been awarded the Leading Parent Partnership Award, being the first primary school in the area to do so.
  
  The award is given in recognition of outstanding work on parental engagement leading to better outcomes for our children.
  
  Our thanks go to the children, parents, carers, Governors and staff who were actively involved in today's assessment and to Mrs. Blythe, who has led the initiative in school.
  
  This is a great achievement of which we can all be proud.
  
  The work doesn't stop there!  We will continue to work to build upon our outstanding relationships to keep making things better for children.
  
  Great job, TeamGP!
