At Gatehouse we aim to provide children with a caring and supportive learning environment, developing and encouraging each child’s abilities and helping them to build an excellent foundation for life and work. Classes are non-streamed, and of mixed ability throughout all age ranges. From age seven up, children are subject taught by highly qualified specialist staff as well as having their own dedicated form teacher.
