Girton Glebe is a friendly, inclusive school in the heart of Girton’s village community. The school follows a long tradition of primary education in Girton, which began in the Cotton Hall in 1846, moving to the present site in 1951. We focus on creating an interesting, stimulating and supportive learning environment, where each pupil can enjoy their education, develop and flourish. There are currently 194 children enrolled across 7 classes in the age range of 4-11 years.
Our Core Values
We centre our learning and behaviour on our five core values: Excellence, Perseverance, Responsibility, Respect and Compassion. We firmly believe that the personal and social development of children is as important as their academic progress.
Our Vision
Our school is an inclusive school where our children develop into inspired, resilient, life-long learners. We achieve this by delivering the best possible education through an enriched curriculum and by being an integral part of the Girton community.
Our History
2016 saw the 65th anniversary of Girton Glebe on our current site. The fantastic Friends of Girton Glebe (FOGG) created this short film to celebrate the event, which can be viewed here:
