What This School Does Well
Glebe Infants' creates a warm, welcoming environment where children feel safe and happy. The school has strong values around perseverance, trust, respect and friendship that guide pupil behaviour both in the classroom and playground. They've recently made effective changes to prioritise early reading, with children now getting off to a confident start in phonics.
Key Strengths
- Strong leadership commitment to improvement with new curriculum changes underway
- Effective early reading programme with phonics now prioritised, helping pupils build confidence and fluency
- Well-considered personal development programme teaching healthy relationships, British values, and emotional wellbeing
- Calm and purposeful classroom behaviour with clear expectations and high-quality pastoral support
- Good progress in some subjects like mathematics and science with improved teaching of vocabulary
Areas for Improvement
- Key knowledge not clearly identified in all subjects, making it unclear what pupils should learn and hindering progress
- Curriculum implementation is inconsistent, leaving pupils with limited knowledge and gaps in learning
- Support for pupils with SEND lacks precision and rigour, with no robust systems to check that education is meeting their needs effectively
- Recent Year 1 phonics outcomes were significantly lower than national averages (though this is being addressed)
Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are effective with clear systems and a positive culture around child protection.
Extracurricular Activities
gardening club, dance club, reading club, multi-sports club, sports day, visits to Raglan Castle, Remembrance Day events, school library visits
Glebe Infants' School is a friendly and welcoming infant school where pupils feel safe and happy, but recent outcomes show that many pupils are not achieving as well as they should and some are not well prepared for their next steps in education.
