A vibrant community spirit exists and this is exemplified by the active community newspaper / magazine, church, parish council, Parent & Toddler Group, theatre group and village hall committee.

At Goxhill Primary School , we are committed to the provision of an ambitious, stimulating and broad education for our pupils.

We encourage a happy, friendly atmosphere in which the children thrive. With an emphasis on every child developing their abilities to the full, we seek to instill a love of learning, a sense of enquiry and the ability to think for oneself. It is an important aim of ours to support each child in their development of self-esteem, self-confidence and respect for the needs of others.
