School Information

Greenfields School can provide small nurturing environment for learners with emotional, social and behavioural difficulties and the majority of our learner come with a range of additional learning needs, some with an Education, Health and Care Plan.

We have successfully worked with learners who have experienced interrupted histories in both education and care. There are a wide variety of abilities on admission, with some learners operating at a very low level of literacy, numeracy and cognitive ability, while others are quite proficient learners.

The Greenfields School promotes equality and positive regard for all learners. Teaching and support staff provide positive role-modelling at all times in order for learners to identify with what is culturally acceptable within the School. Whilst a system of appropriate boundaries and methods for intervening with behaviours exists within the school, emphasis is given to the positive reinforcement of appropriate behaviour through school awards, praise for good work & behaviour and rewards, such as end of term trips. Inappropriate behaviours are challenged in such a way as to allow learners to reflect on what they have done, take responsibility for their actions and consider alternate future responses.

The foundation of our school is the support learner receive to achieve positive outcomes from their time with us and help them realise their full potential. This is through various routes of assessment and accreditation, the wider experiences and opportunities offered by the school, the development of life and social skills through being part of the school community. We strive to ensure that every learner leaves us having further progressed with success and achievements. We want our learners to succeed, and it is our responsibility to ensure that we provide them with support, encouragement and every opportunity to do so.
