What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 October 2024
Pupils are proud ambassadors of Glebe Primary School. The school is a welcoming and happy place. This means pupils enjoy attending school. Pupils work hard and embrace Glebe School's core 'LEARN' values such as leadership, excellence and ambition. Pupils enjoy positive working relationships with staff, who keep them safe. There are high expectations for pupils' behaviour and achievement. Pupils rise well to these. Pupils enjoy learning and are ambitious to achieve well. They talk with enthusiasm about their learning, such as 'Groovy Greeks' and reading books about espionage. Pupils from early years through to Year 6 are rewarded for good attitudes to learning and enjoy receiving awards such as certificates and points. Pupils benefit from the wide range of teams and clubs the school offers. They celebrate successes together, such as being district sports champions. Pupils take on leadership responsibilities, for example as team captains, prefects and well-being ambassadors. Older pupils work with children in younger year groups, for example as librarians, and act as positive role models. This helps to create a culture of kindness and respect.
What the school should improve
- Teachers sometimes miss opportunities to deepen pupils' learning. This means that pupils do not achieve as highly as they might. Leaders should provide staff with the support and training they need to assess more accurately and give precise guidance so that all pupils can achieve the ambitious aims of the school's curriculum.
- There are inconsistencies in the teaching of early reading. This means that some pupils in the early stages of reading do not get the focused support they need. The school should ensure that all staff deliver the chosen phonics programme effectively.
