Welcome to Goat Lees Primary School

This year, we had the amazing news that we had been chosen to be one of the nine schools selected to be part of the Jane Goodall, Roots & Shoots Awards, 2023 held at the Barbican in London. To be one of the chosen schools, was a huge achievement as there are well over 1000 schools in the UK alone who are part of this education programme.  On 3rd March, four lucky children who take part in all things environmental in school, joined two members of staff to travel up to the awards ceremony. After a long but fun journey, we found our way to the venue, set up our display and then...

We were lucky enough to be chosen to host Jane Goodall's 'International Day of Peace' at our school this year. We flew our giant dove around the school with the whole school following with their own doves. Throughout the day, we thought about what peace meant to us and why this is important. Our English for the week also focused on stories about refugees and how they might feel when they arrive in a new country. 

A massive thank you to you all that donated for this worthy cause. Our school alone raised £445. 43. Your generosity will make a huge difference and is particulalry welcome at this time.

We are busy collecting scrap metal which can be exchanged for money to develop our outdoor area. If you are able to collect tin cans and fizzy drinks cans and then bring them into school we would really appreciate it. We can also take other scrap metal - please see Mrs de Roeck or Mrs paggett for further information.  For example, the operation manager (James) at European Metal recycling LTD (where we take our metal) donated an alloy wheel which was damaged and beyond repair: the scrap value was just over £28.
