Glebelands School Catering Tender

The high quality of teaching and learning is central to the success of the School and underpins the excellent progress students make and the standards they achieve. The teachers at Glebelands believe they can, and do, make a difference to the lives of students they teach so that the young people who pass through the School leave as happy, confident individuals who have developed the skills to lead fulfilling lives and make a positive contribution to society. Relationships between all members of the School community are based on respect - respect for ourselves, respect for others, respect for the environment and respect for learning. The School is split into year groups, with each year supported by six tutors and a Head of Achievement who stays with students throughout their time at Glebelands. In this way, the staff get to know the students well and support their progress academically, socially and emotionally, helping them to become self-reflecting and motivated learners. They are rightly proud of the academic achievements of their students, with over 80% of students achieving the government’s Basics Measure for the past couple of years. However, they are not an exam factory. They believe in a three year Key Stage 3 programme of studies. This broad curriculum gives all students a variety of skills for the future and enables them to have a greater understanding of what subjects they want to specialise in for their future. Success is not just based around GCSE exams. External visits and extra-curricular activities ensure all their learners have opportunities to get involved in the wider aspects of School life and develop their interpersonal and leadership skills.
