Moving on
We understand that moving on can be scary. That’s why we liaise with parents, students, and our partner secondary schools to make the transition as smooth as possible.
Secondary Liaison and Joint Working
At Dean Gibson we’ve forged a strong bond with our partner secondary schools Kirkbie Kendal and the Queen Katherine School.
Our teachers work in partnership with secondary school colleagues to ensure your child’s transition into the next stage of their education runs as smoothly as possible.
Wider Links in the Community
We have a strong partnership with teacher training providers like the University of Cumbria.
The curriculum is enriched through a variety of partnerships with local museums and arts groups and with our parish of Holy Trinity & St George.
The school holds a number of events each year to support local, national and international charities. These help to raise our pupils’ awareness of the needs of others and develop them as future citizens. The Christmas Shoe Box Appeal and fund raising for Cafod are but a few examples.
