Harry Gosling School is situated in Whitechapel in the London borough of Tower Hamlets. 450 children attend the school, from the age of three to eleven. The school building is a wonderful mix of new and old. The original building dates from 1910, and our Centenary building opened in 2010. All children learn in spacious, well-resourced classrooms, and we have a large and exciting outdoor space which provides an exceptional play and learning environment.
Every child is entitled to a good education, with equal access to knowledge, skills, opportunities, aspirations, life chances and dignity. At Harry Gosling Primary School achievement is not just about academic excellence, it’s about personal growth too. It’s about how we treat each other, what we value and how we contribute to our surroundings and community.
Our values at Harry Gosling are Equality, Excellence, Responsibility and Teamwork. The entire school community has contributed to selecting our values and determining how we demonstrate those values at school.
School is a place in which we can expand our minds and our horizons. At Harry Gosling we aim to provide excellent learning and teaching opportunities in all areas of the curriculum.
