Welcome to Glebelands Primary School Website

Dear Parents,

Glebelands Primary School is a large school with a roll of 365 pupils and a nursery which provides for 20 two-year-olds and 34 three- to five-year-olds. We are situated in a built-up area, mainly residential, just to the north of the city centre and serve the Stobswell and Baxter Park areas of Dundee. Accommodation is a large Edwardian building on three levels with teaching areas on the first and second floors and lower and upper mezzanines.

The staff team is led by the Head Teacher, a Depute Head Teacher and one Principal Teacher. There are currently 14 primary classes each with a full-time equivalent teacher, two other teaching staff, one administrative officer and seven support staff. The nursery has 16 staff including one senior practitioner and a full-time teacher. The school is part of the Morgan Academy Cluster and positive relationships exist among all cluster schools.

Staff know the pupils well and have high expectations of learning and behaviour. There is a positive and supportive ethos across the school which is commented on by visitors. Our school vision is as follows:

“An inspirational community striving for excellence in learning through a culture of innovation, challenge, inclusion and the celebration of success”.

and our strapline is: -

Be the Best Possible You!

We aim to provide a happy, safe, and welcoming environment for all members of our school community and seek to ensure that everyone is treated fairly and equally with the opportunity and support to develop and achieve to their full potential. We value respect, honesty and commitment and strive to deliver high quality learning and teaching experiences so that pupils are equipped with skills for learning, life, and work.

Our most recent inspection was conducted in September 2024.  To read the full report please visit - Glebelands Primary School | Inspection Report | Education Scotland
