Glebe
House School is a truly happy place to be. I hope that you will enjoy
reading this prospectus and decide to visit us, so that I am able to
show you what your children could achieve in the secure, supportive
environment that is Glebe House.
Many
of our pupils join in the Nursery, and can spend over 12 years as part
of our family, learning, playing and supporting one another. Some join
later, but all appreciate the special atmosphere of the school. At the
heart of Glebe House is our emphasis on supporting and valuing the
individual. Through our House and tutorial systems we are able
sensitively to monitor the progress of pupils, and to delight in the
contributions they make to the life of the school.
Founded
in 1874 we encourage the traditional values of courtesy, consideration
for others, self-discipline and a desire to contribute to society.
Equally, we are committed to the achievement of high academic
standards, harnessing the best of modern educational practice. The
success of this approach can be seen in the scholarships our pupils
have won to leading independent schools throughout the country.
Music,
sport and drama are a significant part of a child’s life at Glebe
House. Pupils are encouraged to participate, to show commitment and to
try different things. Many excel - we aim to give all the opportunity
to enjoy themselves.
Our partnership with parents is of great importance. Through working
together, we can support your children both morally and spiritually, so
that they approach their teenage years intellectually, culturally,
physically and socially prepared to move confidently to their Senior
School.
