Glenleigh Park is a school that can offer exceptional professional development opportunities, high levels of support and the chance to make a real difference to pupils’ outcomes. We work closely with other schools in our Trust and there are many opportunities to share ideas and learn from each other.

Our large modern building, with extensive grounds, provides a fantastic learning environment. Glenleigh Park Primary Academy and Nursery is at the very heart of the Sidley community, and we are committed to our families; making sure that the education we provide for the pupils will raise standards and aspirations for everyone.

Over the past few years, we have redesigned our curriculum, so it ensures that our teaching actively engages pupils to deepen and embed key concepts and skills as well as the transfer of knowledge across the curriculum. Also, we believe that every pupil can be a reader. We work in partnership with Hackney Learning Trust to deliver Daily Supported Reader and Destination Reader and have invested in Reading Recovery as an integral part of our approach to reading; ensuring that no pupil leaves Glenleigh Park unable to read and write and all pupils enjoy reading for pleasure. In addition, we teach phonics from nursery using the Ruth Miskin Read Write Inc programme. We have adopted a mastery approach to the teaching of mathematics and have a trained specialist teacher leading maths.

Glenleigh Park is a fun, exciting and supportive place to work. We set ourselves ambitious targets and know these can be achieved by working together.

Glenleigh Park Primary Academy and Nursery is part of Aurora Academies Trust, an organisation that is committed to nurturing and developing talent. Our seven schools spanning nursery, primary and secondary provision are all judged to be good or better by Ofsted.
