Goodyers End School is one of six
schools in the parish of St Giles.
Goodyers
End County Junior and Infant School opened in May 1957
under the leadership of Mr Lawrence Mills who was the
Headteacher until 1977 when Mr John Paley became Head.
In September 1996 both schools were amalgamated to
become Goodyers End Primary School under Mrs Gina
Gothard who remained Headteacher until September 2001
when Rose Daniels, the current Headteacher, took up
post.
We are a
Local
Authority
funded
school, admitting boys and girls between the ages of 4
and 11. Our maximum intake is sixty children in any one
year group and we currently have a growing roll of
approximately 320 children.
The
development of literacy, numeracy and computer skills
are central to our work and we also offer a broad and
varied curriculum to develop children's natural
curiosity, creativity and love of learning. Wherever
possible we develop first-hand experience through school
visits, inviting visitors to the school to share their
experiences and by using the outdoor learning
environment as often as possible.
