From the Garfield Primary School
I'd like to extend a hearty welcome to you at Garfield Primary School on behalf of the staff. I'm honoured that you decided to learn more about us. I hope you learn something from our website and realise how welcoming and aspirational our school is. We are expanding to become a three-form entry school and are presently accepting more students than ever before. In all categories, we received a "good" rating from Ofsted in its most recent inspection in November 2014. We have come a long way toward being "excellent" at this point. Being a multi-cultural and multi-religious school makes us proud. Our brand-new school, which we moved into in June 2016, provides outstanding interior and outdoor facilities for the students. We were quite involved in the development of our new school and had a very clear vision for it. We think Garfield Primary provides our students with the best educational possibilities possible within a stimulating learning environment. In our new school improvement plan, we have exciting ideas to continue developing our school. Every action we do at Garfield is based on our vision and values. Please read these to learn more about our values. Visits from prospective parents are always welcome at the school. You can schedule one of my frequent tours by getting in touch with the school administration. The webpage lists all regularly scheduled dates. I frequently hang around at one of the school gates (come rain or shine).
