Glenmere Community Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 September 2024

Glenmere Community Primary School is a kind and welcoming school. The school promotes a real sense of belonging. As a result, pupils feel happy, safe and cared for. One pupil shared, 'Glenmere is like seven little communities in one massive community - it's amazing because we know everyone and have other people we can always rely on.' Pupils relish the challenge that the school's ambitious curriculum offers them. They enjoy all aspects of their learning. Pupils are committed to their studies and, as a result, the majority achieve well. Pupils consistently show courtesy and respect to one another and staff. Pupils demonstrate a high level of maturity. Pupils are very proud of their school and their individual achievements. The wider development of pupils is at the heart of everything the school does. Pupils benefit from themed learning days, which they say, 'help our learning come to life'. Carefully planned experiences, such as a visit to Warwick Castle, further develop pupils' subject-specific knowledge and skills. Pupils also enjoy attending a wide range of clubs and take great pride in fulfilling a range of leadership roles, such as being a member of the school's 'reading squad'.

What the school should improve

• Leaders accurately identify pupils with SEND who need extra help and put programmes of support in place. However, the school does not always act upon external professional advice and guidance in relation to pupils with education, health and care plans. It does not always provide staff with the precise information they need to support these pupils as effectively as it could. The quality of provision for some pupils with SEND is, therefore, dependent on the individual skill set of staff. The school should ensure that staff are provided with the relevant information they need to support all pupils with SEND effectively.
