The OFSTED team inspection on 18th and 19th July 2011 judged Glade Primary to be a Good School with outstanding features :
The extent to which pupils feel safe
The effectiveness of care and guidance and support and
The effectiveness of the schools engagement with parents and carers
‘The new headteacher, deputy headteacher and senior leaders are keeping staff focused on driving forward further improvement. They are supported well by increasingly effective middle leaders and a supportive, yet challenging, governing body. Thorough monitoring and accurate self-evaluation provide a firm basis from which leaders plan for the future. As a result of strong improvements in the quality of provision, in particular the successful changes made to the curriculum, school leaders have ensured that the pupils’ attainment remains above average. This coupled with effective self-evaluation, provides the school with good capacity for further improvement.’
The full report will be available for parents to read on our website. Paper copies are available for any parents who do not have computer access.
Letters will be going home to pupils tonight.
We are very proud of our achievements and wish to thank all our parents for their continued support.
