Welcome to our school's website
Welcome to Gamston Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School's websit
e. We are located in North Nottinghamshire and part of a family of ten primary schools that 'feed' into Tuxford School.
Gamston School, founded in 1856, moved from our original, Victorian building to a beautiful, modern building in September 2005. Here is a photograph of the new building.. The 'welcome stone' at the front of the school was designed by one of our ex-pupils, Holly Hamill. Her artwork is lovely and we were so pleased with Holly's motto: 'Gamston School, A Fun Place to Learn' because it sums up perfectly what the school is all about. In 2009 we held another competition - asking the children to design a logo for our new school sign. There were many super entries but in the end we chose Molly's 'touching hands' design with the motto: 'We're All Friends at Gamston School'.

Inspection of Gamston CofE (Aided) Primary School by Ofsted
We have just told your child's school that we will inspect it on 9-10 May 2012. The lead inspector will be Lynne Blakelock. We are writing to you because we would like to know what you think about the school. Please take a few minutes to read the leaflet which came with this letter. It explains why we inspect schools, and what happens during an inspection. The school can give you this letter and the leaflet in languages other than English. These are also available on our website at www.ofsted.gov.uk.
Your views about the school are important to us
If you are a registered parent or carer of a pupil at the school (including pupils on sick leave or who are temporarily excluded), we are interested to know what you and your child think is good about the school, as well as anything that you would like to be improved.
Speaking to an inspector
It may be possible to speak to an inspector during the inspection, for instance at the start of the school day. Inspection administrators will be happy to make the necessary arrangements or to pass on messages to the inspectors if you are unable to speak to them in person. You can contact the administrators on 0121 683 3263. Inspectors will be pleased to receive your comments, but cannot deal with complaints about individual pupils or settle disputes between you and the school.
Yours faithfully
Lewis Mackie
