Description

They are a Church of England School, under the Diocese of Blackburn. The Christian faith and the Gospel teachings of Jesus Christ underpin all aspects of our school life, shaping the distinctive caring and pastoral character. The Vision Statement defines our hopes and aspirations for our children along with a set of key attributes that, as a whole school family, they want to nurture and demonstrate. These are: self-belief, courage, resilience, ambition and harmony. These qualities are inclusive of all – whatever faith, belief or ability.As a high achieving school academically, staff at St Gabriel’s have the highest expectations for every child – especially in Reading, Language and Mathematics which form the vital core of learning. But they also recognise that each child is unique with individual gifts, talents and abilities.

Curriculum
They want learning to be fun and engaging for both children and staff! The curriculum reflects our core values to foster confidence, curiosity, faith and an understanding of the Gospel message of hope and love in Jesus Christ.Whilst we want all children to achieve their best academically, it is also the intention that our curriculum has a deeper purpose – to develop children’s self-belief and desire to improve. They know that self-belief can’t be awarded or given, it is something we gain through experience. But because they can both gain and lose confidence through our experiences, they aim to provide a rich and engaging curriculum with opportunities for all children to experience success, be motivated to learn and grow in self-assurance and hope.It is also true to say that sometimes they can learn from our failures just as much as through our successes. Since children need to experience both to develop resilience and tenacity, we foster a supportive, ‘have-a-go’ culture across school, where individual effort and resolve is recognised and rewarded, even if the target isn’t always achieved.
