Gillamoor C of E Primary School
About the school:
Gillamoor C of E Primary School was first brought to our attention when Kathyn Todd wrote to tell us about the amazing work of the staff and teachers whose unfaling dedication and commitment make just so much difference to their pupils.
I would like to nominate Gillamoor C of E Primary School, North Yorkshire, to be your School of the Month.
I first took my daughter to Gillamoor at the start of Year 1, hardly speaking a word and diagnosed with Verbal Dyspraxia. The care and attention of the teachers and assistants at Gillamoor have helped my daughter, now in Year 3, to be now on a par with her peers. When she started school her Dyspraxia meant her speech was distorted and she had no confidence with reading out loud. Although there are only 42 pupils in the entire school, 20 in Infants (Years R, 1 & 2) and 22 in Juniors (Years 3, 4, 5 & 6) and just two classrooms, there is a full range of reading materials for all ages and abilities which means that the books can be tailored to the children's progress.
At the end of the summer term we lost our temporary classroom which housed our library. Unfortunately this meant that we had to be ruthless and dispose of many old books. We sent those that were still readable to charities to send abroad to less advantaged children. But it means we now have a depleted supply of books.
I am a Parent Governor and the Secretary of the PTA. We raise money through the PTA for supplies but obviously any extra help is always gratefully received. The children are all passionate about reading and love to challenge themselves. A stock of new books, provided by School Link, would be so appreciated.
School Link take great pleasure in selecting Gillamoor Primary School as our chosen School of the Month and we hope that our book voucher donation will go towards helping their much loved library!
To nominate your school please email:
Please include the reasons why you believe your school deserves to win this award, and provide details of the schools address so we can send them their rewards if they are not already School Link customers.
And do let us know what you did with the rewards, we'd love to hear how the new books were received!
