Welcome To our Gentleshaw Community
At Gentleshaw Primary Academy, we value the importance of developing strong links between the school and our local community. Through visits, assemblies, and special events contributes to pupils developing a sense of belonging to a small community and having some responsibility for our School and its people. Working with parents, local residents, the business community, public services, and voluntary services teaches the children to become responsible, respected and active citizens.
Take a look at our children showcasing our local links to our wonderful community.
Our children from years 1-6 took part in a poetry performance workshop from the Garrick Theatre.
