Welcome to Glenfield Primary School

The staff and I welcome all students, whanau and caregivers to our school. 

At Glenfield Primary School we exist to promote excellence in education and learning for the future. We do this through effective teaching practice that raises student achievement and fosters positive partnerships between students, staff and families.

Glenfield Primary School has a strong working culture and we are committed to our vision, “Plant the Seed, Grow the Child”. We develop our vision through the teaching, learning and sharing of the values, beliefs and behaviours that are important to us as a community. This means a GPS learner.....

• Teaching skills that include; life skills, independence, relationship development, communication, interpersonal and higher level thinking and resilience to name a few

We take pride in the delivery of our Glenfield Primary School Curriculum and know we provide our students with academic, cultural and sporting opportunities that encourage growth of positive attitudes, confidence, self-esteem, independence, responsibility and a tolerance of others views.

We will do everything possible to make your child’s time at Glenfield Primary School memorable. We will need your co-operation and involvement to make this happen. Hope to meet you soon.
