About Our School
Glenmead Primary School is mainly a one-form entry school for 4-11 year olds, with a current admission limit of 60 pupils per year.
We are very lucky to have a large campus which offers green spaces, large playgrounds, trees and a playing field. Our Early Years outdoor area is a varied and appealing space dedicated to stimulating learning outside the classroom for our youngest pupils.
Glenmead Primary School is dedicated to safeguarding our pupils. As such, the school site is kept secure throughout the school day with secure access to all external doors. All gates, except the main gate, are locked during the school day. Parents and visitors may only enter the school through the main entrance on Glenmead Road.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, some school arrangements have varied. Now that things are beginning to return to normal, Birmingham maintained schools are no longer required to have a dedicated COVID related Risk Assessment. However, we do maintain an Outbreak Management Plan. A copy of the OMP can be found at the following link:
