Welcome to Gilbrook

I am so proud to be the Head of Gilbrook School. We strive to be a place that welcomes everyone, somewhere you feel included the minute you walk in the school.

Gilbrook School is a maintained special primary school for pupils with Social, Emotional and Mental Health difficulties, where we provide a nurturing and caring environment to ensure the best possible outcomes for our pupils. We look at the individual needs of each child and build a curriculum designed to enhance their learning and social experiences which is stimulating and challenging, whilst developing their natural curiosity and love of learning. We have a thriving outdoor learning space that everyone can access.

Our core ethos is “together we can achieve”. This underpins our belief that to truly succeed we need an approach which involves families and other agencies. We want everyone to feel welcome and part of our school community.

The staff team work hard and together we provide a caring, nurturing environment which allows pupils to firstly enjoy school; and then make progress in all areas of their personal and educational journey. We promote an environment where we all look after each. When you come to Gilbrook you can’t help but feel the warmth and positivity of all in school.

Please explore our website and contact school if you have any queries.
