Hanley Swan, St Gabriel's with St Mary's is a voluntary-controlled Church of England primary school for pupils aged 4 - 11 years.

We are a happy, family school with a Christian ethos where staff, children and families enjoy working together to continuously seek improvement and promote high standards of achievement and success.

As a Church of England school, we aim to:

• Promote a love of learning within a safe and happy environment where children can succeed and reach their full potential.
• Promote Christian values of respect, honesty, friendship, kindness, responsibility and perseverance.
• Provide an engaging curriculum offering children a wide range of learning experiences, both inside and outside of the classroom.
• Motivate the children to be confident in their own abilities; have high aspirations; and be independent in their learning and social skills.
• Encourage openness and courage in the face of challenge.
• Promote excellent behaviour and manners.
• Work in partnership with the church and promote Christian values by serving and supporting the local community.
• Give the children an awareness and tolerance of a variety of cultures and beliefs in the world around them.

We are a busy but friendly school, with lots going on. This website aims to give you a taster of the school, as well as providing regular updated information for both parents and pupils.

We don't have open days as we like prospective parents and children to come and visit us and see us as 'a normal day at school' so you can get a real feel for our school. We have individual visits for parents and your children are welcome to join you. If you are thinking of applying for a place at our school, please call and we can arrange a tour for you.

We hope that you enjoy your visit to our website, and that you find any information you are looking for. Please feel free to contact the school direct with any queries you may have.

Thank you for visiting!
