iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Welcome to Glebelands Primary School - Kind Hearts, Curious Minds, Ready Learn. I am so proud to be Headteacher at Glebelands Primary School - a place of caring, loving adults and happy, learning children. Glebelands Primary School is an average sized local authority, city primary school on the city/county border which takes children Nursery to Year 6.
Children may enter the school Nursery the term after they turn three. The nursery has space for up to 20 children and we offer 15 and 30 hrs of funded care which we are happy to provide flexibly. The nursery is currently staffed by a Teacher and a Nursery Manager who are trained to ensure that your child has the best start to their schooling.
Application for admission into the nursery is made directly through the school. At the end of Nursery, children can enter Reception Year (application is made via Leicester City local authority) and stay with us until they turn 11 and move on to secondary school.
