I have removed my previous review here…read more There's no question the standard of teaching at Gateways is excellent in many areas, the 6th form in particular. The issue is that there are gaps in a lot of what the school does. My children attended Gateways but all came away with very negative feelings and vowed never to send their children here should the opportunity appear. All of them suffered bullying - an issue which wasn't uncommon - about which little was done. In one instance the school had full knowledge of what was going on and took little action towards the perpetrators. In addition to this should any criticism be directed towards any member of staff the school is quick to protect whoever it is. Some staff members behaved in poor fashion towards one of my children during an incident on a school trip but at a meeting with senior teachers to discuss this it was denied that any problem took place so no action was taken. After my children left I arranged to meet the head of the school governors to address the issues my children suffered. He appeared responsive to the issues but after our meeting and an email from me thanking him for his time I heard absolutely nothing. That was my last contact with the school. That's poor on any level. The headmistress at the time of writing was also very unresponsive to issues I raised during my children's time at Gateways. So I'm left with very mixed feelings concerning the school. On reflection I wouldn't have selected Gateways as there are many other good options in the area.

It covers Auckley, Branton, Finningley and Blaxton and has quite a high attendance rate but there are still a few spaces this year as far as I know. It is by far the very best nursery I've come across with my little boy, and I know that every parent at the school would say exactly the same thing. The nursery teacher, Mrs Foreman, is the most enthusiastic person I've ever met and the kids absolutely adore her (so do the parents!). I couldn't believe that the little monster who doesn't listen to a word I say will sit, completely mesmerised, when Mrs F reads him a story! If you live anywhere near this area at all, I'd highly recommend a visit to this nursery before you consider any others. I really can't express enough just how great it is (and no, I don't work there!)

I know a few people with kids at this school and they all say that it is really good. My son went…read moreto the nursery for a year and came on leaps and bounds. They seem to take a real interest in the kids and treat them all as individuals. My little boy was always bringing things home and telling us stories about what him and the other boys had been doing, which he never did at the day nursery he'd been to before. Parking is a bit of a problem at times as there isn't much room for the school and a lot of kids come from outside the area, so be really careful with little ones on the road. Otherwise I can't fault the place.

The school environment is wonderful with a woodland area, lots of green spaces with flowers and plants, climbing frames and imaginative play areas. I have two children at this school both have excelled my expectations gaining greater depth in subjects and are pushed to achieve rather than left to coast along. The classes my children are in have been incredibly friendly. my daughter was a quiet shy girl when she first started and now she has many many friends and has become an outgoing and friendly 7 year old. This has been supported by the teaching staff who seek to support children with their peer relationships and encourage children to work together and problem solve in groups in class. The after school opportunities are vast and impressive from sporting, arts, gardening, science, crafting, forest school club and also they have their own after and before school club for wrap around care. I would always encourage anyone who asks to go and take a look around and see for themselves what a wonderful school this is.
