Strengths
- “The school has a well-established, welcoming and inclusive community ethos.”
- “This is reflected in the warm, trusting relationships between staff, pupils and parents.”
- “As one parent states, ‘Glenleigh Park feels like a family’.”
To improve
- “Currently, leaders recognise that, in some subjects that have more recently been developed, teaching is not yet consistently helping pupils to achieve as highly.”
- “Some activities in lessons do not always enable pupils to learn the identified content as well as they could.”
- “This means that pupils can sometimes find it more difficult to link and apply their knowledge.”
