Gillas Lane Primary Academy and Nursery

Proud to be part of Aim High Academy Trust

Welcome

I am delighted to introduce myself as the Headteacher here at Gillas Lane. Working together with the children, parents and families of the local community, I am certain we can achieve great things. High expectations is the theme that runs throughout Gillas Lane - your children deserve the very best and to have high expectations of them pays them a compliment.

We work together to foster a culture where collaborative learning and high achievement is expected and celebrated with children being given the opportunity to shine in a whole host of ways.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss your child starting our school, please either call in or ring up to make an appointment.

Mrs Monaghan.

Y6 Swimming Lessons08Dec2023

In the Autumn Term, it is the turn of our Y6 class to have weekly swimming sessions at Hetton Baths. Being able to swim is such an important skill to have, especially as we have a river and a coastline. Children need to bring their swimming kit to school each Friday - we do have spares if any children forget. This is at NO COST to our families - school incur all charges for the hire of the pool, the swimming teacher and transport.
