Welcome to Greenacres Primary School
Greenacres Primary School is a friendly and inclusive community where children, families, and staff work together to help everyone succeed. We are proud of our caring ethos and believe every child should feel safe, valued, and supported.
We have the highest of expectations for achievement and behaviour for all. We recognise that children enter the school at different starting points; through supporting, developing and educating the whole child, they make good progress and leave ready for the next stage in their learning.
Our curriculum enables strong knowledge acquisition and we place a strong focus on life skills and executive functions, helping children develop skills such as concentration, organisation, self-control, and flexible thinking. These skills support independence and success both in and out of school.
The 6Cs underpin everything we do: collaboration, communication, citizenship, character, critical thinking and creativity, as we believe these are the attributes which will lead our children to longer term success. We embrace cognitive strategies which have been carefully adopted to enable our children to become self-regulated learners. We believe our role is to instill confidence in all, ensuring the creation of 21st Century learners.
We are always seeking innovative ways of engaging children in learning experiences that motivate and entice them to deepen their understanding, and develop a lifelong love of learning. We are proud to offer our children the opportunity to take part in enriching experiences beyond the classroom, including our Big Outcome, Kids Café, charity work, and gardening initiatives. These opportunities help children develop independence, teamwork, responsibility, and a strong sense of community, while applying their learning in real and meaningful ways.
Our core values of unity, respect, acceptance, freedom, and aspiration are at the heart of Team Greenacres. Together, they shape our school community and prepare children for life beyond the classroom.
The success of our approach to learning, entwined with a core set of values, can be seen in the enjoyment on the children’s faces, in their outcomes and through the dedication of the staff and the relationships we foster.
