Head’s Update
Welcome from Head of School
My name is Libby Barnard and I am proud to be the Head of School here at Glenleigh Park. I am delighted to welcome you to our wonderful school.
At Glenleigh Park we have four core values: Growth, Perseverance, Positivity and Achievement. We believe that all children should have the opportunity to grow both personally and academically through their time with us. We have high expectations for all of our children and value when children persevere to improve; whether that be in their maths lessons or with their friendships. We promote positivity throughout the whole school and believe that when we all work together we can achieve our goals.
The school is a warm and welcoming place because we believe that everyone have the right to learn, the right to feel safe and the right to feel good about themselves. All staff make strong relationships with both the children and families that they work with because we know that the education of children is a team effort. We want to work with you in the best interests of your child to help them be ready for each step in their educational journey.
The curriculum here at Glenleigh Park is carefully organised to ensure that children develop the knowledge and skills they need in a range of subjects to enable them to make progress. Reading is a passion at our school and we love nothing better than sharing books to help develop excellent readers in all year groups. As well as reading, maths is also a key curriculum area.
Here at Glenleigh Park we follow the mastery approach to allow children to explore and develop good ‘number sense’ which gives them a greater understanding of numbers and supports children to become excellent mathematicians.
We are keen to welcome you and your family to are school and look forward to meeting you so we can share more about the wonderful Glenleigh Park.
Ms Barnard
