The children learn and develop through play and enjoyment. We are currently training and working towards a quality mark to ensure our Reception Class are experiencing the highest quality outdoor provision. This term we intend to enrich and develop areas of the outdoor classroom including, the 'mud kitchen', role-play areas, natural, vegetable and wildlife areas. If any parents or grandparents have an interest in gardening and would be able to offer any assistance, particularly with planting a herb garden, please speak to Mrs O'Hanlon. ### outdoor blog [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10348/DSC01097.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10348/DSC01097.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10348/DSC01103.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10348/DSC01103.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10348/DSC01106.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10348/DSC01106.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10348/DSC01107.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10348/DSC01107.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10348/DSC01110.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10348/DSC01110.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10348/DSC01024.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10348/DSC01024.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10348/DSC01031.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10348/DSC01031.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/10348/DSC01091.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/10348/DSC01091.JPG) [ Fun in the snow](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/blog/2017-01-23-16-14-17-fun-in-the-snow) [Judaism in Year 4 ](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/blog/2017-01-23-18-30-12-judaism-in-year-4) ### Our School - [Headteacher's Welcome](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/headteacher-s-welcome) - [School Vision ](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/school-vision) - [Mission Statement](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/school-vision/mission-statement) - [Academy Trust Details](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/academy-trust-details) - [Financial Information](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/financial-information) - [History](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/history) - [Our School Day](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/our-school-day) - [Staff list](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/meet-the-staff) - [Job Vacancies](https://recruit.sampeople.co.uk/Jobboard/Trust/aspirationalfutures/00002) - Governors - [Local Governing Board](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/governors) - [Special Educational Needs](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/sen) - [Ofsted](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/performance-reports) - [Performance](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/performance-reports/performance) - [Policies](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/policies) - [British Values Statement](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/british-values-statement) - [General data Protection Regulation (GDPR)](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/data-protection-notice) - [Mental Health & Wellbeing](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/mental-health-wellbeing) - [Equalities](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/equalities) - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/people/Gillibrand-Primary-School/61564646614865/?locale=en_GB) - [Staff Email](https://mail.google.com/) - [Staff Use Only](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/staff-use-only) - [OPAL Lunchtimes](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/opal-lunchtimes) - [Sustainability](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/sustainability) ![Gillibrand Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/logo/gillibrand_logo_2.png) #### Gillibrand Primary School Grosvenor Road Chorley PR7 2PJ 01257 274983 #### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/people/Gillibrand-Primary-School/61564646614865/?locale=en_GB) © Copyright 2015–2026 Gillibrand Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
