WELCOME
FROM THE HEADTEACHER
Welcome to Gillespie Primary School’s website.
We want our children’s primary school experience to be an unforgettable and inspirational journey with us. We believe the journey for adults should be equally motivating, hence our school’s motto ‘Growing Together’.
I am very proud to be Headteacher of this vibrant and diverse school community. Our children come from a range of backgrounds and cultures and thrive in our unique school environment. The whole school and our partners work together to develop an innovative and creative learning culture for our children.
