Welcome to Gayton Junior School

School is now closed for the summer break. We are busy preparing for the reopening of school in September to all pupils. Click here to read the early information sheet we sent out in the last week of term. This explains information about first days back at school and the staggered start and finish times that we are required to put in place. If you have any queries about this information please contact me by email (head@gaytonj.derby.sch.uk).

Click here to access activities you may like to try with your child over the summer. You can also access Mathletics and Reading Eggs – please do not come to school to change reading books – it is vitally important that we keep ourselves safe at this time.

We have placed orders for vouchers for £15 each week over the summer break for children who are eligible for Free School Meals. They are funded by the government and provided by Edenred. Please click here to read the DfE Privacy Notice for more information about data that is shared for this reason and click here for the Edenred Frequently Asked Questions. If your circumstances have changed since schools have been closed, and you think you may now be eligible for Free School Meals, please contact the school and we will make an application on your behalf.
