Gatwick School Earns "Good" Rating from Ofsted

When you step into The Gatwick School and become part of the TGS family, education truly comes alive!

We are a truly unique institution, providing students with a culture that offers more chances and, consequently, more choices for their future. As an all-through school, we are one of only 109 state schools in the country that educate children from the age of 4 all the way to 16. This allows us to be part of not just their educational journey but also their journey through childhood into young adulthood.

At The Gatwick School, we believe in creating a culture founded on nurture and ambition. While we operate as two small schools, we come together as one big family. This structure allows us to offer students a phenomenal education by pooling our expertise and experience, ensuring a continuity of learning that helps students learn more, know more, and remember more.

Our unique setting enables students to build lasting relationships with staff, develop their knowledge through our all-through curriculum model, and benefit from phase-specific expertise. They also enjoy a broad range of opportunities, such as specialist classrooms and mentoring programs, which are only possible in a setting like ours.

Quality of Education

Our teachers have been praised for their ‘clarity and precision’, ‘expert subject knowledge’, and effective teaching methods. This is helping our pupils learn and remember essential knowledge, creating a solid foundation for their educational journey, every single day.

Behaviour and Attitudes

We have been recognised as fostering a calm and orderly environment where pupils feel safe and happy. High expectations and a culture of ‘mutual respect’ contribute to positive behaviour and attitudes. ‘Clear and consistent routines’ ensure that pupils know what is expected of them and they are in an environment where they can ‘learn well’.

Personal Development

Singled out as a school that is committed to celebrating diversity and supporting the personal growth of all pupils. Including effective assistance for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Our school provides opportunities that ‘inspire awe and wonder’ and places a strong emphasis on literacy and reading, enabling students to ‘read with confidence and develop an enjoyment of books and literature’

Leadership and Management

Strong leadership has been instrumental in driving improvements. New staff have been recruited, and the curriculum has been refined to ensure pupils can achieve their best. Regular training for staff ensures that they are well-equipped to close gaps in pupils’ understanding. Staff feel empowered and enormously proud of the rapid improvements that have been achieved.

Early Years Provision

Young children receive a positive start with warm and nurturing relationships with staff, helping them thrive both socially and academically.
