Dear Glebe Families
As we approach the half term break, I would like to extend a huge thank you for your unwavering support and engagement with our school community. Your kind comments during parents’ evening reaffirm our shared commitment to your child’s education and wellbeing.
At Glebe, we continuously strive to create an environment that celebrates uniqueness and diversity, while also promoting the importance of British values and inclusivity. Together, we are advocates for these principles and are dedicated to nurturing an environment where every child feels valued and respected.
Today, we were privileged to host our trustees and showcase the wonderful learning experiences happening within our school. Your children’s enthusiasm and engagement truly exemplify the vibrant atmosphere of our learning community.
I am delighted to see our children embracing individuality by wearing what they love, while also participating in meaningful fundraising activities for charity. Thank you for instilling in them the spirit of generosity and empathy.
Furthermore, today’s assembly with the Children’s Heart Foundation was a poignant reminder of the power of community and collective effort in supporting important causes.
As we approach the half term break, I encourage you to take this time to rest and rejuvenate with your loved ones. Your continued partnership is invaluable to us and I look forward to the exciting endeavours that lie ahead as we journey together in nurturing our children’s growth and development again, next term.
Wishing you a well-deserved rest and a wonderful half term break filled with cherished moments with friends and family.
Warm regards
Mr Clarke
Headteacher
