Welcome to Glynwood!
I would like to welcome you to our website on behalf of the governing body, staff and children of Glynwood Community Primary School. As Headteacher, I am very proud of our school and it’s many achievements. Our most recent Ofsted inspection report highlighted our many achievements and described the school as ‘a good school with outstanding features where there is a high morale and an excellent team spirit’.
I hope you find our website interesting and informative!

Nursery have been watching some caterpillars grown and change into butterflies.
They were very interesting and the children loved watching.
We recently released them into the garden.
We wonder if they'll come back to visit us again.

Nursery have fun learning about transport
Children in Early Years have recently been learning all about transport.
They enjoyed making a car wash and garage, testing out rockets, throwing parachutes and even sawed their own wood to make boats.

On Thursday 19th June, Nursery and Reception classes took part in the Big Toddle.

This was to raise funds for Barnados. The children (and their grown ups too) had a fantastic time, toddled a very long way and had a fantastic afternoon.
We raised over £700.
So a big thank you to all who took part and to those who donated to this very worthy cause. Thank you very much.
