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.

Recommended Websites

There are lots of valuable resources available to help keep the children engaged and entertained during any lockdown or self-isolation period. We have a list here of some of our suggestions to help all of the children at Gordon Children’s Academy to develop their learning and knowledge outside of the Teams and Seesaw platforms. Any extra work completed can always be uploaded to Seesaw so that the staff can see what the children have enjoyed and engaged with.
