At Glenfield Infant School we aim for all our school community to value themselves and each other. We create positive and nurturing learning environments where all children belong. Children are encouraged and challenged to achieve their very best in all aspects of their learning. Reading is a priority, as the ability to read and understand unlocks a world of imagination, creativity and new, powerful knowledge. Strong relationships are built between children and staff to enable our learners to feel happy, safe and secure.

Our core values are at the heart of all learning experiences. As the children grow and develop throughout their infant years, they become confident, resilient and independent both academically and personally. We want to empower children to be independent, resilient, creative, collaborative, respectful, responsible and feel valued as members of the community with a passion for learning.

We provide a curriculum that is exciting and rich with new experiences. Everyone feels motivated and secure enough to try new things. When learning is challenging, no one gives up. Everyone is proud of their achievements and the achievements of others.

Our values of friendship, respect, determination and courage underpin all that we do. The children will leave school happy, confident and eager learners ready to take their place in an ever-changing world.
