Description
Glebe House School is Independent Secondary school in Non-selective for kids aged 0 to 14 (Gender - 0 to 14 )
They are an all-welcoming, co-educational school with small class sizes and they are proud of our reputation as a caring and happy school that values achievement and, importantly, effort, in all areas of school life. The pupils that come to Glebe House School are enthusiastic, challenged and when they leave at 13, ready for the opportunities and adventures to come.
Facilities
Nursery
They are passionate at providing a wonderful first start for all children. We work within the Early Years Foundation Stages and 7 areas of learning to support each individual child, using their strengths and interests to help them achieve their full potential and shine within their time at Glebe whilst also preparing them for their future education. They at Glebe House School Nursery aim to make our charges fair and affordable for those paying fees and we are registered as part of the 2, 3 and 4 year old Early Education Entitlement offered to parents and carers in Norfolk by the Local Authority for both the universal 15 hours and the extended 30 hours.
Pre-Prep
They know that the first few years in a child’s education are crucial, so they prioritise the acquisition of key literacy and numeracy skills through a varied and interactive curriculum. The pre-prep department focuses on creating a positive, enriching environment to develop happy, confident children who are keen to learn and embrace new ideas.Each morning, children enjoy formal literacy and numeracy lessons, taught by qualified, dedicated class teachers. A great emphasis is also put on hearing your child read every day. Class sizes are small and children are taught in single year groups to allow us to tailor lessons to individual needs. Regular target setting and assessment is carried out in order for us to fully understand the next steps your child requires.
Prep
Prep class sizes remain small and our academic programme challenges the children, going beyond the National Curriculum to meet the requirements of Common Entrance. All pupils who have left at the end of Division VIII over the last 20 years have moved to their first choice of senior school, with 25 per cent gaining scholarships. Former pupils – or Old Aquilians as we know them – have achieved more than 90 per cent A* or A grades in their GCSE examinations three years later, and we believe the seeds of their success are sown at Glebe.

Things to note
Outdoor Space
They believe that it is vital for children’s learning, development and well being to spend as much time as possible outdoors. They are very fortunate that each individual year group has their own outdoor space catered to their needs. They use these spaces not only to play and explore but also as an extended classroom promoting as much outdoor learning a possible through fun activities and forest school type learning.
Activities
As well as the exciting lessons, we have a wide breadth of extra curricular activities available. From Spanish to Sports, from Pottery to Yoga, they cover every imaginable activity across the Pre-Prep and Prep – most of which are included in your school fees.
School Trips
They’re right by the beach, of course, so they often go there for our lessons – on top of that, we visit all sorts of exciting places. Trips to museums, theatres and places of natural wonder happen throughout the year, as well as occasional residential visits and trips abroad.
