Greenfields Primary Information

Greenfields Primary School has been at the heart of the local community since 1952. We are a growing community primary school with 170 pupils currently on role. The school is due to undergo an exciting expansion in order to give space for two form entry across the whole of the school, We have a lively and enthusiastic team who are committed to providing excellent quality education and safeguarding children. The school is well presented, well resourced and situated in lovely grounds. We have several shared areas outside the classrooms that are used for a variety of activities such as craft or small group work. We have a large hall, library and ICT suite, which are timetabled to enhance learning opportunities. We are fortunate enough to be set in spacious grounds with two playground areas and a large playing field. We believe that the outside environment is as important as the classrooms themselves to help children learn, and we constantly strive to ensure that the physical environment is as safe and stimulating as possible. Our most recent OFSTED inspection (February 2011) described the school as satisfactory with many good features. The school has very good relationships with the local community and actively welcomes many visitors to school to enhance the education of our children. Relationships with parents are highly valued as we believe that children thrive best when school and home work in partnership. The governing body also continue to drive forward improvements in the school and help to plan future school developments. Greenfields Primary School benefits from having a very dedicated staff, all of whom work closely together in order to ensure the best quality learning opportunities for children. Learning is enhanced by additional support or teaching either individually or in small groups. All who work at Greenfields Primary School aim to achieve a happy, friendly and caring environment where all children are valued equally and their achievements are celebrated. Children enter school in the Autumn term after their fourth birthday and follow the Foundation Stage curriculum for their first year. This builds on experiences children have gained at home and in pre-schools. Children then progress into Key Stage One and then Key Stage Two where they follow the National Curriculum.
