About the School
Thank you for your interest in joining Glossopdale School & Sixth Form. Our school is an oversubscribed 11-18 comprehensive secondary school which serves the Glossop and wider community. We are a warm and caring school that has the highest expectations of students and ourselves, where every student is expected to work hard, behave well and contribute positively to the school community. We exist to empower our students to find their purpose, develop high aspirations and thrive, both academically and personally. We provide a knowledge-rich curriculum which exposes students to powerful knowledge, places them on an ambitious pathway and develops the character traits needed as young people and into adulthood. Our core purpose is not merely finite ‘success’ for our students but our culture and curriculum enables them to thrive - to continually grow and flourish. We are explicit about the culture we want to create and have clear ideas of the desired behaviours necessary for our students to succeed. At Glossopdale School & Sixth Form, we maintain a relentless focus on the day-to-day actions, behaviours and routines within the school and adopt a disciplined approach to teaching students effective learning habits. We communicate and practise these regularly, as both staff and students. While with us, we encourage every member of staff to stretch themselves and we give everyone access to a wide range of learning and development opportunities. We are a research‑based school with the aim to develop highly effective evidence‑based practices including teaching, learning and assessment, where we collaborate as a whole staff to persistently improve our pedagogy and where we evaluate our practice habitually. We have some of the best facilities in the area having fully rebuilt our school in 2018. This not only provides both staff and students with everything they can expect for modern teaching and learning, but also gives us exceptional environmental credentials.
