About schools in Glossop

Glossop lists 21 schools, most of them primary schools. Its two secondary schools are where families compare options once a child finishes primary. Another two schools provide for children with additional needs or alternative provision.

Ofsted inspects every school listed here. Its newer reports judge a school across several areas rather than giving one overall grade, while older reports still carry the previous single grade, so read the framework and the date on each page before you set two schools side by side. Where results have been published you will also find key stage 2 scores for the primary schools and Attainment 8 for the secondary schools.
