About Gig Mill Primary School

Gig Mill Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted overall, but the detail of its most recent inspection in 2020 tells a more nuanced story. The school achieved Outstanding marks in two key areas: early years provision and behaviour and attitudes. This is a strong signal for parents of younger children, particularly given the school offers nursery provision for ages 2 and up. The leadership and management, quality of education, and personal development were all rated Good. Compared with its previous inspection in 2013, which also rated overall effectiveness as Good, the school has maintained its standard while sharpening its strengths in early years and behaviour. With 574 pupils on roll against a capacity of 607, the school is operating near full capacity, and the 22.1 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals is slightly above the national average, reflecting a diverse intake.
