About Us

Gillas Lane Primary Academy is proud to be part of the Aim High Academy Trust from 1st October 2016.


The school is situated in Houghton-Le-Spring, approximately 7 miles from the centre of Sunderland and 5 miles from the centre of Durham. We are a successful family orientated school with large grounds and onsite Nursery provision where we cater for children of all abilities from 3 to 11 years of age.


Gillas Lane Primary Academy provides a safe, happy, responsible and well ordered community in which all children can learn and be valued as individuals.


Our aim is to ensure that your child’s time with us is happy and successful, both academically and socially and we pride ourselves on the care and support we are able to offer to pupils and their families within our small friendly school.


The school subscribes to the values of Aim High Academy Trust as set out in the Trust's strategic plan.
