Headteacher, Margaret Beesley, told Beeston Today: "As we serve a diverse multi-cultural community in Beeston, we feel that this is very pro-active and positive move for our school and will greatly benefit parents, staff and children by celebrating our customs, our beliefs and working together on an innovative project - which is yet to be decided."
Oftsed inspectors noted on September 2008 that Hugh Gaitskell Primary School was providing a satisfactory and rapidly improving standard of education.
