Welcome

Welcome to the George Tomlinson Primary School website! I hope that you find the information you require and more by looking at our webpage. However, no website can truly demonstrate the feel of a school and I’d recommend you come and visit us for a walk around!

George Tomlinson Primary is a three form entry community school set in the heart of Leytonstone, a stone’s throw away from the tube and with easy access into the heart of London on the central line.

At George Tomlinson we believe that all children deserve outstanding quality first teaching that is supported by excellent curricular opportunities and extended services that nurture and engage children.

We want to inspire brilliance in a stable and safe environment through creative practice. We want our pupils to feel that when it comes to aspirations the sky is the limit and to prepare them fully for life at secondary school and beyond.

We believe that children best develop when they are intrinsically motivated by their own interests and explorations.

Teachers & support staff

Are you a passionate and creative teacher who will accept nothing less than the best for children? Do you want to inspire others and reach your potential? At George Tom we believe in supporting staff to continue learning and to reach their potential. Every staff member is valued and made to feel part of the team.

Innovative and Creative Curriculum

Innovative and Creative Curriculum

Our curriculum was revised entirely in 2016 and is personalised to our pupils using modern and effective techniques. We use Inspire Maths (the Singapore Maths approach), Destination Reader, Read, Write Inc Phonics and Philosophy 4 Children along with Project Based Learning from Years 2-6 which teaches the life-skills of collaboration, research and presentation.
Sport

Sport

Our two Sports Coaches deliver outstanding sport provision across the school, run a huge range of inclusive clubs and sporting competitions as well as maintain their Sports channel on YouTube ‘GTTV’ with weekly reports from our sports ambassadors. We hold an annual hike up Mount Snowdon and working towards our Sainsbury’s Platinum Award this year!
Pastoral Care

Pastoral Care

We highly prize pastoral support for our pupils and their well-being is of paramount importance to us. We are delighted to provide the counselling service Place2Be for children and their families who need a little extra support. They offer 1:1 counselling as well as a drop-in service open to all pupils. We also have a Learning Mentor who works with children across the school to develop their learning, self-confidence, resolve issues within friendship groups and strengthen their growth mind-set. We have a sensory room and use our outdoor Edible Playground, amongst other things, as a breakout space.
Growth Mind-set and Mindfulness

Growth Mind-set and Mindfulness

Children with a growth mind-set believe intelligence can be developed, they are motivated to learn, engaged in their subjects and are not afraid to try things out and learn through their mistakes with effort and persistence. We teach all children mindfulness techniques to help stay calm and focused, improve their attention and make better choices. In short, to improve their cognitive function and emotional regulation!
SEND Provision

SEND Provision

We offer excellent provision and support for our all children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. We have a Sensory Room which is also used as a break out space if required and staff are given regular training on how to best support our SEND children. Our SENDCo works closely with families of SEND children to ensure they make excellent progress and are supported in the best way to reach their potential. We are a fully inclusive school and want all our pupils to reach their potential, regardless of starting point.
Library

Library

Our Fairy Tale library is a magical place for all children to read and relax, sit on a toadstool or the indoor grass and fall into the magical world of books! We run a daily project called ‘Catch me Reading’ in our library where children can hear a teacher read to them from 12-1230. Children collect stamps for each time they attend and then win a free book! We have librarians and Reading Prefects who also read to their peers during lunchtimes. We have invested heavily in quality texts for our library and book corners across the school.
Music

Music

At GT we follow the Charanga music programme to teach the music curriculum. Children can chose to learn the violin, ukulele, guitar or piano in school with our music tutors. Year 3 are also taught the recorder as a class. We have a school choir club who recently performed at the Yong Voices concert at the O2 in London. We will also be providing singing lessons from Summer 1.
Pupil Voice

Pupil Voice

We offer various opportunities for our children to voice their opinions and ideas, excel and take on responsibilities. We have prefects, playground pals, peer mentors, sports ambassadors, sports prefects, reading ambassadors, reading prefects and a highly active school council. We are working towards our UN Rights Respecting Award and our school council and Art Council make their voices heard!
Community

Community

Our active PTFA run various wonderful community get-togethers and fundraisers throughout the year. We also have nine different nationality coffee mornings which run for parents to make connections with one another and get involved in school life. We also offer a free English lesson class each week for parents which is well-attended as well as free adult courses such as First Aid and Tai Chi. Our free Baby & Toddler group from 915 am every Wednesday is a great way for parents to meet one another.
EYFS

EYFS

We have a modern, excellent setting, outstanding resources and experienced staff who create a nurturing and highly engaging space for our Nursery and Reception children. We offer full-time places for 3 and 4 year olds as well as places for eligible 2 year olds. We also have spaces at our Nursery and Reception Breakfast and After School Clubs.
Outdoor Learning

Outdoor Learning

We are lucky enough to have a huge Edible Playground that has recently been renovated by the charity, Trees for Cities. We have hens, edible bushes, a fire pit, outdoor seating for a class, a pond as well as enough space for all classes to grow their own vegetables throughout the year. We are also receiving training to become Forest School qualified so that we can run Forest School lessons.
EAL

EAL

Our Family Support Worker runs daily English lessons for any children with English as an Additional Language. We also run free parent English language classes weekly for any parents who wish to develop their language skills.
Workshops

Workshops

We run weekly workshops for parents with a wide variety of topics from Dyslexia, to how to support your child at home, ASD training, play dough workshops, water play workshops for EYFS and Phonics workshops. They’re delivered by staff and specialists in those fields when required and are a great way to get into school, see what we do and make friends within the parents community
