Welcome to Gorse Covert Primary School website
Head Teacher’s Welcome
On behalf of our school community, I am delighted to welcome you to Gorse Covert Primary School.
Gorse Covert is a vibrant school at the heart of the local community. We pride ourselves on the holistic education we provide, which gives our pupils the foundations they need to become happy, ambitious learners who are well-prepared for the next steps in their education. Our pupils are encouraged to pursue their interests and develop their talents, and our broad and balanced curriculum empowers them to do so.
Our highly skilled staff create a welcoming and inclusive environment where children can learn, play, and grow together. It is the nurturing approach of our staff and the high quality of education that led the school to win the “Warrington Guardian School of the Year” award in 2023.

We value the impact that families have on their children’s success and warmly invite parents to attend our many varied school events, from class-learning showcase events to parent stay and play sessions and Sports Day activities. Our fantastic PTA organises many events throughout the year that bring together the school community and is always looking to welcome new members. We also have a wonderful before and after-school club based in our community room, which supports parents juggling busy schedules.

Here at The Gorse Covert Primary School, we are committed to ensuring quality play opportunities which help our children to be happy, healthy and physically active and are excited to be in the process of transforming playtimes with the support of OPAL Play. Our pupils will be making memories outdoors, exploring, creating, problem solving and boosting their mental health. All whilst having the time of their lives.
