Time to shine

“The primary years at GSAL are opportunities for children to develop their understanding of the world around them, be challenged, think deeply, ask questions and discover their passions both in and beyond the classroom. Our rich curriculum enables every child to achieve and become resilient whether solving a maths problem, creating a work of art, performing or playing sports. Working together, our children learn how to collaborate, speak with a powerful voice, develop life long friends and demonstrate kindness as well as compassion to each other.”

Gabrielle Solti | Vice Principal and Head of Primary

“It’s fun and relaxed. The teachers work hard to give you confidence.”

Primary school pupil

GSAL Primary aims to be the leading primary school in the region with passionate teachers and an inspirational curriculum.

In September 2020, all our primary age pupils came together for the first time at our Alwoodley Gates campus. We know that children make huge strides in the primary years, from their first steps into school life in Nursery through to Year 6 when they are ready to move up into senior school. The learning environment is carefully designed with the needs of each age group in mind, helping children to develop confidence and self-esteem ready for each stage of the their educational journey.
