Dear Gainsborough families,
Welcome to Gainsborough Primary School (part of the community of schools within Eko Trust). Ofsted recognised in our January 2025 inspection that our children have outstanding behaviour & attitudes as well as an outstanding personal development offer through our amazing curriculum. Our teaching & learning and leadership are solidly good. We work with Kaizen Primary School, an outstanding Eko school in Plaistow, considering ourselves as a 3 form entry school across two sites.
Here at Gainsborough our focus is on ensuring that our children learn and grow in a safe, happy, nurturing and stimulating environment that challenges and engages them.
We are ambitious for our pupils and set high expectations for them so that no matter at what stage they join us, we ensure that they are well prepared for the next stage of their education and for later life.
Our school nurtures the whole child to develop their confidence and love of learning and our pupils are given a range of responsibilities, and play an important role in school life.
Our highly trained staff ensure that our children thrive and our children can also take part in a wide range of opportunities, clubs and visits to local places of interest as well as residential settings, which help bring the curriculum to life and make learning meaningful for them. We also offer a range of extra-curricular activities too.
Our parents and community are vital to the school’s and our pupils successes and work with us to make learning fun. We deliver the Trust's strong curriculum which goes above and beyond the National Curriculum.
We know that your child will be happy in our school and look forward to working in partnership with you as they grow and develop along their educational journey.
Please contact the school office to speak to someone for any queries.
Yours in partnership
Ms Sims
Executive Principal for Gainsborough & Kaizen Primary Schools
As we near the end of term, we’d like to thank you for your continued support throughout the year – your involvement plays a vital role in your child’s education and the wider success of our school communities. We’re proud of all our pupils and excited by the possibilities ahead, particularly the proposed merger between The Compass Partnership of Schools and Eko Trust. Your thoughtful feedback has been invaluable in shaping the vision for this next chapter, which aims to strengthen our ability to provide a high standard of education. If you’ve not yet shared your views, there’s still time – more information and contact details can be found on each school’s website /newham/primary/gainsborough/arenas/websitecontent/web/parentfaqs(2)_20250717151130546.pdf .
We’ll continue to work behind the scenes to progress the proposed merger, including ongoing constructive discussions with the Department for Education. We will be in touch again in September; in the meantime, we hope you and your family have a lovely summer break.
