At Glebe School, we believe in an ethos that values each child and their individuality.

We strive to enable all children to achieve their full potential academically, socially and

emotionally and their potential.

The Inclusion Department have a specific responsibility for strengthening the support in school for

 children with special educational needs and who are vulnerable.

I joined Glebe Primary school in September 2020 as Inclusion Manager and have been a fully qualified teacher since 1996.  Over the years, I have worked in a variety of schools in many different roles, including being an assistant head in a Specialist setting for pupils from 4 – 19 with complex learning needs.

I am a fully qualified SENCo and have undertaken many extra courses in areas such as Dyslexia, ASD, Mental health and well-being, manual handling and therapeutic play to name a few.  I feel proud to work at Glebe; the whole school community wants the best for all our pupils.
