Gilbrook School, Birkenhead, Wirral
World Book Day - Optional Dress up - NO Football Kits/tracksuits Thursday 5th March is World Book Day. To celebrate, we will be doing lots of book themed activities throughout the day and taking time out to read our favourite stories. If your child would like to dress up they may come to school as a book character. We appreciate that not all of our children like to dress up. Therefore this is completely optional. If your child does not want to come as a book character they should wear school uniform as normal, pupils are not allowed to wear football kits or tracksuits. We will look forward to seeing some inventive costumes on the day and may even have a few prizes to give out too! Many Thanks, Mrs Chapman-Roberts

Welcome to Gilbrook

Welcome to Gilbrook School.

I am pleased to introduce myself as the Head of Gilbrook and welcome you to our website.

We are a maintained special primary school for pupils with Social, Emotional and Mental Health difficulties, and we believe that we provide a nurturing and caring environment to ensure the best possible outcomes for our pupils.  We look at the individual needs of each child and build a curriculum designed to enhance their learning and social experiences which is stimulating and challenging, whilst developing their natural curiosity and love of learning.

Our core ethos is “together we can achieve”.  This underpins our belief that to truly succeed we need a cohesive approach which involves families and other agencies.   With this in mind we set high expectations for our pupils, linked into their personal aspirations.

As a staff team we work hard together to provide a caring, nurturing environment which allows pupils to firstly enjoy and then make progress in all areas of their personal and educational journey.  We promote an environment where we all look after each.  When you come to Gilbrook you can’t help but feel welcomed by all in the school.

Please explore our website and contact school if you have any queries.
