Main findings

This outstanding school is a very happy learning community successfully providing education and care of the highest quality for all its pupils. The vast majority of parents and carers are fully supportive of all aspects of its provision and many are particularly enthusiastic about the welcome the school gives and of its family atmosphere. Children enter the Nursery class with low levels of skill for their age, especially with regard to their communication, literacy and language development; aspects of numeracy are also very weak.

Pupils make outstanding progress across the school and by the time they leave at the end of Year 6, their attainment has risen to above average. Children get off to a flying ...start in the Early Years Foundation Stage and progress rapidly. Pupils' enjoyment of school is clear for all to see and is a major factor in their excellent achievement during their time at Glebe.

Pupils make outstanding progress in science and mathematics. Progress in English is not quite as rapid, particularly in writing for the more able pupils. The school manages pupils' behaviour very effectively and pupils' conduct is outstanding as a result.

The Healthy School status and the Active Mark award acknowledge pupils' good understanding of health issues. As a result of the outstanding procedures for safeguarding, pupils report how much they enjoy learning and feel safe and secure at school. Partnerships with outside agencies, parents and carers are outstanding and have a very positive impact on the pupils' experiences.

However, attendance of a very small minority of pupils remains a concern. The outstanding curriculum, combined with excellent teaching, motivates pupils to want to learn. Indeed parents and carers, too, enthuse about the rich and exciting range of activities on offer.

The headteacher and senior leadership team drive the school forward very well through development planning that has a central focus on improving the quality of teaching and learning. Rigorous monitoring and very effective self-evaluation ensure that any weaknesses are quickly identified and addressed. All staff are held to account, challenging targets are set and a culture of high expectations established.

In the past few years, attainment at the end of Year 6 has risen from below average to above average. Significant improvements have been made to the quality of teaching and learning at Key Stage 1. A sustained concentration on standards and the quality of the leadership team and staff give the school outstanding capacity for further improvement.

The school provides excellent value for money.

Information about the school

In this average-sized primary school, most pupils are White British with a very small proportion from minority ethnic backgrounds. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for free school meals is above average.

The percentage of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities is broadly average, although the percentage who have a statement of special educational needs is above that usually found. Glebe has national Healthy School status and holds the Inclusion Quality Mark along with other awards including the Basic Skills Mark and the Active Mark for its work in sport. It operates a breakfast club for pupils each day.
