Gooseacre Primary Academy is located in Thurnscoe in South Yorkshire, close to Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham.
We currently have over 300 pupils on our roll and twelve classes in the school: Foundation Stage 1 and 2, three Key Stage 1 classes and seven Key Stage 2 classes. The school has seen a remarkable pace of improvement in recent times and in March 2020 Ofsted judged us to remain “a good school”. We are proud to have achieved this status, which is due to considerable dedication and effort from the whole team of staff and wider academy community. We are committed to maintaining our rate of progress. We will build on our strengths, ensuring good practice is embedded into the school and drive forward new initiatives to enhance our performance further.
High expectation is an integral part of the culture of our Academy. We want our children to achieve their full potential and we work hard to ensure that they have every opportunity to do so.
