This exceptional achievement highlights the school's excellence in the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management.
Respect is the foundation of Gladesmore Community School. Every pupil, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), is embraced as part of the Gladesmore family.
Furthermore, leaders ensure that older pupils act as role models for their younger peers, fostering a supportive and inclusive environment.
The curriculum at Gladesmore often surpasses national expectations and is thoughtfully designed to reflect the school's diverse community. Pupils with SEND thrive, thanks to effective processes that quickly identify and address their needs. As a result, students are exceptionally well-prepared for the next stage of their education.
The innovative careers curriculum connects pupils with a wide range of employers and education providers. Many pupils are supported to progress to prestigious further education through a charity-funded bursary, significantly boosting their motivation and aspirations.
Cllr Zena Brabazon, Cabinet Member for Children, Schools, and Families at Haringey Council, said:
