Welcome to Redgate Community Primary School

Dear Visitors,

Thank you for visiting our website. It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Redgate Community Primary School.

My name is Helen Gambon, and I am incredibly proud to have become Headteacher of Redgate in September 2026. Having been part of the Redgate community since 2015, I feel privileged to now lead a school that means so much to our children, families and staff.

Redgate is a happy, vibrant and truly inclusive school where we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. Our school values are at the heart of everything we do:

We Learn • We Collaborate • We Nurture • We Grow • We Are Safe

Our Redgate family begins with Little Squirrels Nursery, welcoming children from the age of two, and includes The Pines, our specialist resourced provision for 42 children with complex needs. Together, these provisions reflect our commitment to ensuring that every child is known, valued and supported to achieve their very best.

We are extremely proud of our dedicated and talented staff, who are the heartbeat of 'Team Redgate'. They have developed an ambitious, exciting and engaging curriculum that captures children's imaginations, builds confidence and inspires a lifelong love of learning.

We are also proud to be an award-winning school, with our Early Years team receiving the Pearson National Teaching Gold Award for Early Years Team of the Year in 2022 – a wonderful recognition of the passion and commitment that can be seen throughout our school.

As Headteacher, I am excited about the next chapter for Redgate. I am committed to building on our many strengths, working closely with our children, staff, families and wider community to ensure that Redgate continues to be a place where everyone can learn, grow and succeed.

Of course, a website can only give you a glimpse of what makes our school special. We would be delighted to welcome you to Redgate to see our school in action, meet our children and staff, and experience Team Redgate for yourself. Please contact our school office to arrange a visit.

We look forward to welcoming you.

Kindest regards,

Helen Gambon

ETHOS & VALUES

At Redgate, our vision is simple: every child belongs, every child can achieve and every child is prepared for their future.

We are a proudly inclusive school where every child is known, valued and supported to thrive, regardless of their starting point or individual need. We celebrate difference and recognise the unique contribution every child makes to our school community. Our staff learn alongside our children, creating a safe and nurturing environment where everyone is valued, supported and encouraged to grow.

We have high aspirations for every pupil. Through an ambitious, engaging and inclusive curriculum, positive relationships and rich experiences, we inspire children to be curious, resilient and enthusiastic learners. We want every child to develop the knowledge, skills and character they need to succeed, while discovering their own strengths, interests and ambitions.

We give our children a voice and encourage them to understand that they can make a positive difference to their school, their community and the wider world. By the time they leave Redgate, we want them to be confident, compassionate and responsible young people, ready for the next stage of their journey and believing that their ambitions have no limits.

Our five values underpin everything we do. They shape how we learn, how we treat one another and how we grow together as a school community:

WE LEARN

WE COLLABORATE

WE NURTURE

WE GROW

WE ARE SAFE
