Greenlands Primary School a place where every child has a champion!
Every child and member of staff becomes part of our Greenlands family, from the very first day they join us to the day they leave. Our overarching aim is to foster in every child a love of learning, a curiosity about their world and a desire to be the very best version of themselves.
We believe that positive relationships are at the heart of what we do. Through these relationships we nurture an understanding of each other, diversity and how these positively impact on society.
We promise to work tirelessly to champion the needs of every child in our care. We will ensure that they enjoy a stimulating and inclusive education, where learning is irresistible and exciting and offers new, enriching, fulfilling experiences, that open the doors to the world beyond our school.
