Every child who put Glebe Primary School first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

About Glebe Primary School

The school holds a 'Requires improvement' judgement from Ofsted. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 56% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with the national average of 61%.

On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 10% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally.
