Girton Glebe Primary School welcomes all primary age children who live within or near Girton. Visits to the school are welcomed and encouraged.
Applying for Admissions (Early Years Foundation Stage)
Children are eligible to begin school at the start of the academic year in which they reach the age of five.
Starting school is such a special milestone, and Reception is a year filled with curiosity, discovery, creativity and growth. At Girton Glebe, we are proud to provide a warm nurturing and inclusive environment where every child is valued and encouraged to thrive. Our EYFS team is dedicated to creating a safe, stimulating and engaging setting where children develop confidence, independence and a love of learning through meaningful and exciting experiences. We believe young children learn best through a balance of play, exploration and carefully planned teaching opportunities that build curiosity, creativity and communication.
We are proud and fortunate to operate a “buddy” system, where each Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) child is paired up with a Year 6 “buddy”, who receive training from Nessie counsellors to prepare them for the role. Both year groups benefit from the initiative, with the younger pupils becoming familiar with the older children and feeling looked after, and the Year 6 pupils understanding responsibility and the importance of acting as role models for the younger pupils.
The Cambridgeshire Admissions Team manages admissions for community schools; for the policy and information on how to apply, visit www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/admissions. Once you have applied, you will automatically receive an email receipt.
In Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and Key Stage 1, class sizes are limited by government legislation; in the case of over subscription, places will be allocated according to the admission criteria specified on the admissions website.
