What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 December 2024

The school's ambition for 'high achievement and high standards' is realised highly effectively for pupils at Glenmoor. Pupils achieve excellent academic outcomes. They are extremely well prepared for their future pathways. Pupils have a strong sense of belonging and learn in a positive and respectful environment. They understand and demonstrate the school's values, which are 'showing integrity, compassion and courage'. Pupils are committed to their learning and classrooms are disruption free areas. The school is a happy and safe place to learn. Pupils are proud to attend. There is a vast range of leadership roles for pupils to aspire to. These include being house captains, peer mentors or part of the pupil leadership team. The broad extra-curricular programme is popular with pupils. Activities they can choose from include archery, choir, martial arts and the diversity and inclusion club. Many pupils, including those that are disadvantaged, benefit from participating in these opportunities. The school prioritises the development of pupils' character and resilience. For example, Year 7 recently visited the Isle of Wight as part of the school's residential programme. Pupils and staff say that this has helped them to form positive relationships with each other at the start of their school journey.
