Our approach to learning is rooted in the belief that every child can achieve great things when they feel safe, supported, and inspired. We create a nurturing environment that celebrates effort, builds confidence, and develops a love of learning from the very start of a child’s journey with us.
Our broad and balanced curriculum is carefully designed to engage and challenge all learners. It covers all core subjects, including English, maths, science, history, geography, art, music, and PE, while also offering exciting enrichment opportunities. Through well-planned, knowledge-rich lessons and hands-on learning experiences, we support pupils in building strong foundations and becoming lifelong learners.
As part of the Astrea Academy Trust, our school is driven by five key values:
- Scholarship – aiming high and striving for academic excellence
- Curiosity – encouraging children to ask questions, explore and think deeply
- Tenacity – fostering resilience and determination in all areas of school life
- Aspiration – believing in ourselves and aiming to achieve our goals
- Empathy – treating others with kindness, respect and understanding
These values are woven through daily teaching, behaviour expectations, and all aspects of school life. Whether it’s through classroom learning, assemblies, or community events, we actively promote a culture where pupils feel empowered to make positive choices and develop as respectful, responsible citizens.
We also believe in the importance of strong partnerships between school and home. By working closely with families, we ensure that each child’s individual needs are met and that they are given every opportunity to succeed.
At Gooseacre, we are proud to offer a vibrant, inclusive and ambitious education. We help our children grow not just academically, but personally and socially so they leave us confident, well-rounded and ready for the next step in their journey.
