Meet our Team

Welcome to Glebedale School. We hope you enjoy looking around the site and learning about the school. At Glebedale we have worked hard to develop a caring and nurturing school community, an environment where children can thrive.

Our dedicated staff team ensure our children are at the heart of all that we do. We want our children to feel safe to learn and enjoy a wide range of experiences.
