We all firmly believe Gulworthy is a unique school. We are situated in the heart of the beautiful Tamar Valley; the school is steeped in over 150 years of history. Gulworthy School has an established sense of "place" within both the local environment and community - something we consider a major strength in an ever-changing and fast-paced modern world.
The school has a crystal clear core purpose - to simply put children and learning at the heart of everything we do. Our aim is to establish a love of learning in our pupils by developing and building on their creativity and curiosity. We are an inclusive school and we ensure all pupils are included in the life of the school whatever their age, ability, disability or ethnic background.
Our pupils are proud to attend Gulworthy and this is reflected in high standards of work, behaviour and attainment. All our staff are committed to ensuring the school continues to strive for excellence, for the best for all pupils and for that ultimate enjoyment and satisfaction gained from learning. Our school community including pupils, parents, governors, support staff and teachers works collectively to ensure we are a happy, hard working and successful team.
We have one BIG problem. We don't have a school hall. This means P.E. lessons are limited to out door P.E which can be tricky in the winter. Also, we can't provide before school clubs, which our families really need. We have to eat in our classrooms, which isn't ideal. Food gets squashed into the carpet!. Not the best start to an afternoon. We would love a hall of our own. A room where we could have P.E., eat lunch, provide breakfast clubs and after school clubs and put on whole school performances. It would be so well used.
We have tried so many avenues for funding but to no avail. If you can help us we would appreciate it so much. We might be a small school but, everyone member of our community would love the opportunity for us to flourish yet further.
Thank you.
