Glenleigh Park is a fun, exciting and supportive place to work. We set ourselves ambitious targets and know these can be achieved by working together.

In our recent Ofsted inspection (December 2023) we were praised for our welcoming and inclusive community ethos. That is reflected in the warm, trusting relationships between staff, pupils and parents. The report said that “staff deeply care about pupils’ well-being and provide bespoke support to enable them to thrive.
