Gladesmore Community School

General information

Note from the Headteacher...

Gladesmore is a great place to be. It is an exceptionally happy and successful school. The staff are caring and totally committed to nurturing the achievement and positive development of our children.

Our school motto is 'Dream it, REACH for it, Achieve it'. Children thrive in our friendly Gladesmore family atmosphere because we respect and encourage each other in a climate which prides itself on everyone doing their best. Our positive school ethos is central to our success which is promoted through the REACH values of: Respect, Enthusiasm, Attitude, Cooperation and Hardwork.

We aim to meet the needs of our students through a well planned curriculum supplemented by a variety of enrichment activities. We have a strong emphasis on reading and ask parents / carers to encourage this too. We expect students to do their best, to push themselves and achieve high standards.

I am proud of our students, proud of the rich mix of cultures in our community and proud of our exceptional achievements. We enjoy a vibrant and cohesive community fully committed to providing an outstanding education for our children.

We have a highly talented, well qualified and dedicated staff who want to see our young people do well. They value the partnership between home and school. By working together we can help the children to excel and feel happy and encouraged in their learning.
