The children had a fantastic time on our recent trip to Grangewaters, enjoying a range of exciting outdoor activities in a beautiful natural setting. It was wonderful to see them stepping out of their comfort zones, supporting one another, and building strong friendships along the way. The trip truly highlighted the importance of teamwork, resilience, and cooperation, and we couldn’t be prouder of how well they represented our school.

Eight girls proudly represented GPFS at a girls' football tournament in Thurrock.

The team faced off against four other local schools, playing a total of five matches.They demonstrated impressive resilience, teamwork, and determination throughout the tournament securing a well-earned victory. The team finished 4th in the group.

This week, Gateway Primary Free School held its annual Pupil Leadership and House Captains elections, giving our Key Stage 2 pupils the opportunity to step into leadership roles and have their voices heard. Candidates presented thoughtful speeches and demonstrated impressive confidence, vision, and enthusiasm for representing their peers. Staff and students alike were inspired by the maturity and dedication shown throughout the process. Congratulations to all the newly elected Pupil Leaders and House Captains—we look forward to seeing the positive impact they will make across the school community this year!
