Dear Parents/Carers
Why Pleckgate?
Your child would be joining an oversubscribed, outstanding, thriving, multicultural school community that places the best interests of young people at the heart of everything we do. All pupils are challenged and supported to Aspire and Believe, Act and Succeed.
We share the Trust’s core principles of high expectations, partnership, passion and innovation. At Pleckgate everyone is committed to providing the best educational experiences and opportunities for our pupils. At the heart of our work is a commitment to high quality teaching and learning, and achievement for all; for our pupils to be safe, happy and successful, developing as individuals into caring, responsible citizens who are proud of their achievements. We are on a journey to provide a world class education to every child and we would be honoured if you choose to join that journey with us. I look forward to meeting you as we work together in partnership to make your child’s stay at Pleckgate successful and fulfilling.
