Welcome from the Headteacher
Dear family and friends of Girton Glebe Primary,
Let me be the first to welcome you to Girton Glebe Primary School, and thank you for taking the time to visit us and to be considering to join our school community.
I am incredibly proud to be able to call myself the Headteacher of Girton Glebe Primary School. It is a privilege to lead such an illustrious school and its community as we continue on our journey together into the next phase of improvement and growth.
At the heart of our vision for the school is a commitment to maintaining a legacy of high academic attainment and refocusing the school’s position at the centre of a vibrant village community. Outcomes for Girton children continue to be exceptionally strong; in 2023, approximately 40% of children leaving us achieved ‘greater depth’ in their KS2 SATs in Maths, Reading and Writing, with more than 50% achieving it in Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling. Teacher assessments in Science were similarly strong, and the performance of pupils achieving expected standard was well in excess of the national average. We are very proud of the outcomes that our children achieve, particularly given our inclusive and completely non-selective intake.
A core part of this is our commitment to becoming the East of England’s first state primary to be an IB World School, launching the Primary Years Programme for all our learners in September 2024. This means it is a more exciting time than ever before to be considering joining us.
Our school is an inclusive and aspirational 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. We centre our learning and behaviour on our six core values: Curiosity, Aspiration, Perseverance, Responsibility, Respect and Empathy, which also tie into the IB Learner Profile.
Girton Glebe is proud to be part of the wider ELA Trust network, which includes Impington Village College. The growing links between Girton Glebe and Impington Village College will result in the development of a true all-through provision which brings huge potential opportunities for students, staff and families. The Girton community are already benefiting from additional curriculum support and specialist teaching, including in languages and the arts, but also wider support for our leadership team and extra-curricular offers. As we continue our journey as a school I am entirely focused on ensuring that the student experience at Girton Glebe continues to represent an exceptional offer locally, nationally and internationally.
I hope you enjoy your visit. Further questions and enquiries are always welcome, so please to introduce yourself should you wish to.
