Welcome to Gedney Drove End Primary School

Welcome to Gedney Drove End Primary School.  Our Pupils are at the heart of all we do here at Gedney Drove End.  Ofsted (March 2025) said that Pupils enjoy attending this caring and welcoming school. The school has high expectations of what pupils can achieve. Most pupils progress well through the curriculum and produce high-quality work. In lessons, most pupils have excellent attitudes to learning. The school is calm and orderly. It has established clear learning routines that pupils understand and follow.  We offer fun, cross-curricular experiences that support children in building knowledge and skills across the curriculum and beyond. We aim to foster a love for learning and children.

Our school is like a family, Ofsted noted that Pupils show respect to each other and to staff. At playtime and lunchtime, pupils enjoy socialising and playing games together. Older pupils happily help younger pupils to take part in these. Pupils say  they feel safe in school, telling inspectors that they know that there are adults in school they can talk to if they are worried about anything.

We look forward to welcoming you to our school.

Our Vision

The Griffin Federation, of three schools, aims to be at the heart of the villages we serve. We feel that working in partnership with the whole community will lead towards a society of hope, where we raise aspirations for our school family and allow them to become the very best members of the community they can be. We will endeavour to ensure that the teachings of justice and forgiveness are lived out by all.

Every member of our community is valued, and valuable. We will pursue excellence for all, including our most vulnerable, by providing the support and challenge they require to reach their full potential. We will do this in an inclusive environment, where the well-being of everyone is nurtured with dignity and compassion, so that any difficulties experienced can be overcome.
