Headteacher's Welcome

It gives me huge pleasure to welcome you to The Glenvale Church of England Primary School.

This is a new building, and a new chapter for our school.  Our school has been proud to be part of the Wilby community for over 170 years, but in 2023 we secured the opportunity to move into a fantastic new purpose built school building in the Glenvale Park development. We will be moving to this new space in September 2024, and we look forward to welcoming new people into our strong community.

We hope this website gives you some idea of what you and your family will be able to expect for our fantastic school.

Our vision is "Together we are inspired to learn within the family of God's love. We encourage one another to reach our full potential within a Christian atmosphere. John 13:34. "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another as I have loved you." 

We have chosen six Christian values which are embedded in our everyday school life. These are taught and reinforced with the children on a regular basis. They are: Compassion, Forgiveness, Friendship, Hope, Serving Others and Thankfulness. Anyone who visits are school will see theses values in practice.

Our last SIAMS Church inspection (June 2019) reported that “The Christian vision is at the heart of the work undertaken in school to ensure all children achieve their best. Love and care for others are at the heart of the school’s work and ethos."

The staff and governors are committed to ensuring that the curriculum and extra-curricular opportunities we offer, stimulate the children and ensure that they enjoy every day here and develop a love of learning. The atmosphere is very much one of a big family; from the children to the parents, staff and governors. Every child is known by their name by every member of staff.

To fully appreciate our ethos and surroundings please pay us a visit. Until then I trust this provides you with an insight into our school. I look forward to welcoming you to our school.
