‘Learning and Loving on our Journey with Jesus’

Here at St Gabriel’s we have high expectations for all of our children and encourage them to strive and become the best they can be. Each child is on their own unique journey and we are here to guide them through and equip them with the richest curriculum we can.

At St. Gabriel’s Catholic Primary academy our curriculum is designed to nurture and educate every one of our children. We adopt a fully inclusive practice which means all children are able to access the curriculum we offer, regardless of their learning requirements. We use an evidence-based curriculum that is knowledge and vocabulary rich.

In EYFS we understand the vital importance of learning through play and we strive to create a safe and enabling environment that encourages learning whilst also reflecting the needs of our children.
