My name is Mrs Brockhurst and it is an absolute pleasure to introduce myself as the new Headteacher of Goring CE Primary School.

At Goring, we believe that children learn in response to the environment in which they find themselves and to the adults with whom they encounter. Goring is a happy and vibrant community, with attractive surroundings, led by a highly welcoming, professional and committed staff team.

Goring is a warm, welcoming and friendly place which prides itself on the positive relationships it has with the children and their families. Our staff team care very deeply for the development of each individual child and place your child at the centre of all that we do and achieve.  We have high expectations of behaviour and academic standards, supported by our broad and balanced curriculum which provides many opportunities to develop the whole child. 

During your child’s journey through our school, we will ensure that they are respectful to themselves, to others and to the environment in which they learn and in doing so we teach them how to remain safe and look out for the safety of others. Our committed teaching and support staff strive to enable each child to be the very best version of themselves.

The curriculum we offer is designed to enable children to develop strong learning skills, helping them grow in independence and understanding in all areas of learning – academic, social, moral and spiritual. We provide equal access for all children to a range of rich, creative and memorable experiences both in and outside the classroom.

At the heart of our school is our Christian faith which shapes and moulds everyday life. As we foster respect for each other and our environment and develop tolerance and understanding for the cultural diversity of the world in which we live, we seek to lay Christian foundations from which children can grow into caring and responsible adults in society.

We recognise the partnership between home and school and the crucial role it plays in each child’s development. By working closely with parents, we aim to foster a love of learning, a wonder of God’s creation and promote a readiness for the challenges of life ahead.

I do hope you will come and visit our school in person.  We are always happy to show prospective parents/ carers around.  Please feel free to contact the school office to arrange a visit and to discover all that Goring CE Primary has to offer.

At Goring CE Primary, we provide all children with an enriching broad and balanced curriculum which nurtures curiosity and creativity and fosters enjoyment in learning enabling all children to flourish. We have a progressive and topical approach to the curriculum and taught subjects so that we can create rich links across all subject areas, enabling children to develop their own passions and interests. We will teach children how to grow into positive, responsible people, who can work and co-operate with others, whilst developing knowledge, skills and attitudes to learning, in order that they achieve their true potential.
