Welcome to Gawsworth Primary School

Welcome to Gawsworth Primary School. It is my privilege, as the Head Teacher of our fabulous, caring village school, to introduce you to all that the school provides.

If you choose Gawsworth for your son or daughter, you will be choosing a happy, friendly and vibrant school at the heart of its historic community. Our pupils spend their time in a safe and caring environment, not only achieving high academic success but also enjoying an outstanding range of extra-curricular activities such as languages, music, drama, judo, lacrosse and tag-rugby to enhance our pupils’ time at Gawsworth and develop their interests for the future.  The annual Rose Queen Fete, Christmas Carol Service and Key Stage school productions all enhance our links with the local community and its heritage, which boasts of the resting place of the last court Jester, Maggoty Johnson.    

We aim for the values of a Gawsworth education to lay the foundations for our pupils for the rest of their lives as we ‘Learn Together To Achieve Our Best’. We want them to do their best, discover the things that they love and are good at, challenge themselves and respect each other.

This website gives you a flavour of Gawsworth. However, please keep in mind the fact that it is only a website and has a limited scope in conveying the wonderful atmosphere and experiences of our school, so should you wish to find out more, please come and pay us a visit. Should you wish to do so, Mrs L. Lewis and Mrs K. Freeman are our office staff who deal with queries from parents/carers and members of the public.
