Mrs Mulhall is looking forward to welcoming as many children as possible to our on-line,  ...
White Rose and Amazon have joined forces to offer free on-line text books . White Rose is a group of maths experts who produce resources and schemes of work where each step of learning builds on the previous. As a school, we use these to enhance our learning so many of the children will be familiar with the resources and the style of ...
On this first Wellbeing Wednesday of the term we will be thinking about keeping ourselves safe online. In their Google Classrooms today, the children will have time to discuss and reflect on different aspects of this subject within school in order to build upon their previous learning and in order to develop further understanding, each ye ...
We are very lucky to have lost of trees at Gomer. Some of you will be aware that one of our super pine trees succumbed to the wind in the December winds. Many of you will have seen the result of the storm if you walked in Oval Gardens during the Christmas holiday. You can see the tree, which is enormous, in some of the pictures below. The ...
Be Bright Be Seen Day is an annual opportunity for us to remember the importance of being seen whilst out and about. And, Gomer were not going to let a ‘lockdown’ stop us from being extra bright for the day during our live lessons – have a look at the gallery below. So, on Friday 8 January, we dressed up and our JRSO Tea ...
Wow – what a week of change. Gomer Junior really is a school ‘learning today for the challenge of tomorrow.’ We do hope all our families are really proud of everything the children have achieved this week. A big THANK YOU to parents/carers for working so well with the school. Need help? Please just ask. Please see below, a copy of our January newsletter (emailed to all parents/carers) which captures our response to the national lockdown. Our critical worker parents/carers are doing a stirling job under difficult circumstances – we thank you. Please stay safe and the best place for this, wherever possible, is at home.

In the last lockdown, we learnt that children missed the ‘face to face’ contact with their friends and teachers. To address this, the children will be taught all morning, remotely, by their class teacher. We are of course disappointed that we cannot teach ‘face to face’, but are excited to announce Gomer as a ‘virtual school’ ...
