Welcome

Picklenash Junior School is one part of the successful GPP Federation. Picklenash provides quality primary education to pupils in Years 3-6 and prides itself on the caring and nurturing ethos that is firmly embedded there.

The school site is shared with Glebe Infants and has established a welcoming and inclusive environment with firmly embedded whole school values.

Our Federation vision, which was written in collaboration with our children, is Faith, Family, Flourish.

The site boasts extensive facilities including a large outdoor area and well established Forest School area.

Being part of the only primary provider within the town of Newent we are proud of our relationship with the local community and we work hard to ensure that strong links are made with local organisations. Many of these links are able to provide our children with unique opportunities and experiences that add breadth and balance to our curriculum.

As staff, we are passionate about developing a love for learning and working together to ensure everyone achieves to the very best of their ability. Our curriculum is carefully structured to inspire children and provide opportunities for them to discover and learn in fun and engaging ways. As well as focusing on the key academic areas in school we recognise the need to develop the whole child and as such look to provide a range of opportunities that prepare children for the next steps in the educational journey and life in general.

Ethos and Values

Our six core values underpin everything that we do in school. They are fundamental to ensure children are able to achieve their very best in a safe and supportive environment. Each term one value is in focus and teachers look for examples of children displaying this within the school.  Children then have a chance of receiving a value wristband in our weekly Celebration Assembly; the objective being to collect all six values over the course of their school career.
