About Glebe Infants' School

Glebe Infants' School, a state primary in the Forest of Dean, serves children from ages 4 to 7 and currently has 138 pupils against a capacity of 180. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025 rated it Good overall, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2017. While the local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment sits at 59, it is important to note that Glebe Infants' School does not have published KS2 results because its pupils move on to junior school before that assessment point. This makes direct headline comparison against the LA average tricky, but the school's trajectory is clear: it has moved from Requires Improvement to Good across all measured areas, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management.
