This week, we gathered together for our first assembly of the new school year to celebrate what it means to be a Gatehouse Champion.
At Gatehouse, we believe that every child has the potential to shine, not only as a learner but as a person. Our champion qualities – Courage, Hard Work, Accountability, Motivation, Perseverance, Independence, Optimism, and Never Giving Up – are at the heart of everything we do. These qualities help our pupils grow into confident, kind, and determined young people who will carry these values with them long after they leave our school.
During the assembly, pupils were reminded that being a Gatehouse Champion doesn’t end when the school day finishes. These qualities travel with them into their homes, friendships, activities, and eventually into their future lives. With these values, our children can go on to achieve anything they set their minds to – any career, any dream, anywhere in the world.
Teachers will be watching closely to celebrate these champion moments in and out of the classroom, whether through certificates, hot chocolate sessions, or well-earned house tokens. Every recognition is a reminder that our pupils are building the skills and mindset they need to become not just excellent learners, but also outstanding adults.
As our Head reminded us:
We are so excited for the year ahead and proud to see our pupils already showing these qualities. Together, we are ready for the best year ever at what we know is the best school in the world – Gatehouse School.
