Headteacher’s Message

Dear Glebe Families

As we bid farewell to another term filled with growth, learning and shared moments, I want to extend my sincere appreciation to each of you for your ongoing support.

Our school community thrives because of your active involvement and as we embrace the holiday season, let’s take a moment to celebrate the achievements, big and small, that our children have accomplished together.

May the joy of the holidays be present in your homes and may you find time for relaxation, laughter and cherished moments with family and friends.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!  Thank you for being an integral part of the Glebe family.

Warm regards

Mr Clarke

Headteacher

Class 2VC made igloos out of paper mache and created an outside setting.  Well done!

Service of Hope

On Tuesday evening, the choir sang at the Baptist church’s annual Service of Hope for the bereaved.  The children were absolutely amazing, not just for their performance but for the whole of the service.  Seeing them write their messages of remembrance for the tree and light candles of hope was really wonderful.  It was so lovely to have so many of Mrs Smith’s previous choir members come back to join in with the performance as well.  Well done and thank you everyone!
