I feel extremely proud and privileged to be the Executive Headteacher of Goodmayes Primary School and welcome you to our school website. Our school community’s diverse cultures, languages and experiences make it an exciting place to be, where children, parents and staff respect each other’s differences and celebrate our commonalities.

All staff have a shared vision and commitment to ensuring children at our school receive exciting learning opportunities, the knowledge and skills to adapt to the fast-changing world we live in. We want our children to be confident, respectful, resilient and inquisitive individuals. I am passionate and committed to our school’s core values of respect, aspiration, friendship and unity; children are encouraged to live these values in all aspects of school life.

We provide a well-planned and engaging curriculum that encompasses all national curriculum subjects and also provides the important personal, social and health and economic education that all children need to become well-rounded and positive global citizens of the future. At the heart of our work at Goodmayes Primary School lies the uncompromising belief that all children, regardless of their experiences and backgrounds, have the right to reach their full potential, instilling confidence in children to ‘understand that barriers don’t have to limit their lives’.

As parents and carers, you have a vital role in the education of your children; we actively encourage close co-operation between home and school. I know you have high aspirations for your child’s educational achievements and look forward to developing a successful partnership that will support you in achieving this and help in making your child’s time at Goodmayes Primary both happy and successful.

We value your views and welcome any ideas you may have in helping us to further improve our school. Prospective parents and pupils are welcome to visit our school. Please contact the school office if you wish to arrange a visit.
