It is my privilege to welcome you to The Glapton Academy, a school where every child is valued, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential. Located in the heart of Clifton, just outside Nottingham, we pride ourselves on being an inclusive and welcoming school, committed to fostering a safe and inspiring environment for all. The staff at The Glapton Academy are dedicated, caring, and passionate about providing the best possible opportunities for every child. We aim to inspire our pupils to be well-rounded, confident, and knowledgeable citizens, ready to embrace the challenges of the 21st century.

At The Glapton Academy, our curriculum is designed to be both creative and challenging, ensuring that every child is recognised for their unique abilities. We believe that every child deserves a well-rounded education that not only focuses on academic achievement but also on personal growth, creativity, and well-being. Through a partnership with parents and the wider community, we create an educational experience that nurtures curiosity and inspires children to become lifelong learners.

Our goal is simple: we want each child to leave us with the skills, confidence, and self-belief to take on the next stage of their journey, whether that’s moving on to secondary school or venturing into new challenges.

I am incredibly proud to be the Headteacher of our school and together with our dedicated team of staff, we strive to foster an environment where high expectations and a love for learning go hand in hand. We believe in the importance of every child’s voice and provide an atmosphere where curiosity is encouraged, questions are welcomed, and standards are upheld.

Our children have access to large playgrounds, a trim trail, and a fantastic sports field where they can explore, play, and develop both physically and socially. We place a high value on building friendships, positive relationships, and lasting memories.

Above all, our priority is to keep our school community safe and provide opportunities for every child to flourish. As a forward-thinking school, we are constantly reflecting on how we can evolve and improve, ensuring that we are always providing the very best educational experience possible. We also believe that the collaboration between school, parents, and the wider community is vital to ensuring that our children are well-supported and nurtured. We work tirelessly to support not just the children but also their families, knowing that when we work together, we can achieve great things.
