Our Curriculum
At Greenfield Academy, we have high expectations for every child. We encourage them to dream ambitiously about their future and support them to secure successful, aspirational destinations. We want all children to feel happy, valued and confident, and to act with integrity, kindness and respect.
Our values: Proud, Ambitious, Kind – together with our ethos of ‘Every Child, Every Opportunity, Every Day’, shape the culture of Greenfield. They guide how we learn, how we behave and how we treat one another. We want our children to be confident, aspirational and respectful, and to feel that they belong to a community that believes in them, champions them, and supports them to become the very best version of themselves.
Our Curriculum Intent
Our curriculum is designed to build the essential knowledge and skills children need to succeed both in school and in life beyond Greenfield. It is ambitious, inclusive and carefully crafted to prepare children for their next steps.
Our children follow a broad curriculum that includes core academic, practical and creative subjects. This is enriched by our Personal Development curriculum and a range of wider opportunities that support children’s personal growth, character and aspirations.
