Our Inclusive Ethos
Glenmead Primary School is committed to being an inclusive school and welcomes all families and pupils from our local community. Where it is possible, within financial constraints, the school will adapt both its building and the way we deliver the curriculum to the needs of our pupils at the time. We strive to make school life, including the curriculum, visits and extra curricular activities, suitable for all our pupils.
The aim of our work is to support our pupils in developing independence, creativity and resilience - both socially and academically.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
Within the Glenmead community all individuals are valued and respected in a safe and secure environment. We are an inclusive school where everyone is encouraged to grow in confidence as they travel along their learning journey. Through developing independence, hard work and creative thinking, we strive to achieve our true potential.
Respect, Enjoy, Achieve
OFSTED June 2022
When they carried out their inspection in June 2022, inspectors recognised our strong inclusive ethos and the work we do to support all of our pupils to thrive. In their report they stated:
'Staff support pupils with SEND well . Pupils needs are identified well and specific
actions are agreed to help pupils to progress. These pupils access the full curriculum
and everything that the school has to offer.'

Our staff have received training in Trauma Informed Approaches and we consider trauma in the organisation of learning spaces and in the development and management of relationships with our young people.
