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.

So much to love about being an @IslingtonBC councillor as there is just so much happening in the borough. This weekend @GillespieSchool summer fair (starring a musical set from the head teacher) and the Cally Festival. No time to recover from 6 weeks general election campaigning

As part of our science work on #habitats and #endangered species, year 4 have been doing some art work inspired by the work of Andy Warhol.
We created polystyrene tiles with an image of an endangered animal, printed them and then added lots of colour in the style of Andy Warhol
