Interested in joining the Gordon Children's Academy in September 2027?

Join us for our Open Morning Tours to see our school in action and meet our staff and children. 
Spaces are limited so please secure your place by booking here.

To help keep all pupils safe, please ensure the school has up-to-date information about any allergies your child may have. Accurate allergy information enables us to put appropriate support plans in place, train staff effectively, and respond quickly in an emergency. We all have a part to play in creating a safe environment, including following our nut-aware policy and being mindful of the food brought into school. If your child has an allergy, please contact the school or update their details via Arbor. Be Allergy Aware and Save A Life - see more here.

Thinking Artistically

‘Thinking Artistically’ teaches our children to be their best self through the knowledge skills and understanding of how the arts enrich the world around us.

Children will participate in a range of artistic learning opportunities to develop an appreciation of visual and performing arts. They will experiment with both aspects of being an artist, developing communication and self-confidence skills through individual expression.

  • An arts approach to the curriculum is used to develop children’s ability in performing arts and visual arts, which is underpinned by a rich vocabulary education.
  • Children’s musical skills are developed through composition, performance and appreciation of a wide range of musical experiences linked to their topic theme, including where music reflects historical or social significance.
