As we close our doors for the summer holidays, it’s the perfect moment to reflect on a fabulous year at Gorsey Bank Primary School (GBPS).
From academic achievements to unforgettable experiences, our pupils have truly made the most of every opportunity. Here are just some of the highlights that made our year!
Tom Percival Visit
At the start of the year, Tom Percival came to visit. He is an author of many children’s books such as ‘The River’, ‘Perfectly Norman’ and ‘Ruby’s Worry’.

Chinese New Year
In February, the pupils learned all about Chinese New Year and dressed up accordingly. This year is the year of the Dragon which symbolises strength, courage and good fortune.

World Book Day
In March, pupils, families and teachers had a fantastic day celebrating World Book Day. Everyone came in wearing costumes based on their favourite characters and chosen books…and didn’t they look fabulous!

Eid Celebrations
The children were treated to two assemblies led by some of our Muslim children and parents/carers who shared some of their own experiences of fasting during the holy month of Ramadan and the subsequent Eid celebrations.
We also had a fabulous day celebrating Islamic arts and crafts as well as partaking in our own Eid celebration lunch!

Sporting Successes
In May, Years 3-6 took part in many competitions such as Gymnastics, Cricket and Football. They all performed brilliantly and placed very well in the competitions.
The team returned to Gorsey proudly wearing their winning medals!

Another Year of Fabulous Highlights for Gorsey Bank Primary
As we bid farewell to another successful school year, we celebrate the achievements and growth of our pupils, looking forward to the new opportunities that await us in the coming academic year.
We wish all our pupils, staff, and families a restful and enjoyable summer break!
