On behalf of the Governing Body and staff, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to our friendly, happy and challenging school.

Gledhow School provides a stimulating and secure environment for all its pupils. The staff work hard to provide your child with the necessary opportunities to grow and develop emotionally, socially and intellectually. Using a variety of teaching methods the children are encouraged to develop at a pace which is right for them. Emphasis is placed on ensuring that there is an appropriate match between the work and the child's ability in order to give each child a feeling of success and a desire to learn more. We encourage self-awareness and confidence whilst at the same time promoting sensitivity, support and respect for others.

If you would like further information please do not hesitate to contact us.
