Greenfields school provides a small, therapeutic environment for pupils with needs within the spectrum of behavioural, social and emotional difficulties. All of our pupils will have an individual development plan (IDP) or education, health and care plan (EHCP) if they are from an English local authority.
We are proud that despite some of our pupils facing adverse childhood experiences, including interrupted schooling, they achieve positive outcomes and go on to live happy, healthy lives. Whilst many of our pupils will have learning needs such as within literacy and cognition, we support them to be able to access challenging and appropriate qualification pathways and achieve well.
Greenfields school promotes inclusion, diversity and equity amongst its staff and pupils, including a positive regard for all pupils in the school. As such, the staff model respectful behaviours and values to support the pupils to demonstrate these consistently themselves. Our behaviour system is firmly rooted in positive reinforcement and as a first response to negative behaviours, teaching staff will edit their planning, curriculum and approach to better meet the needs of the pupils. On occasion, pupils need to learn consequences of negative behaviour but this is done in a way that is restorative and that involves all involved. Exclusions are always as a last resort when other options have been exhausted.
At the heart of everything we do is the community at Greenfields school. We support the pupils to reach their full potential while they are here and encourage them to contribute positively towards their school and wider community. This supports them to build positive and healthy social skills and to develop into successful citizens.
We are passionate about ensuring that every pupil succeeds in whatever way that looks to them and in supporting them to build the skills and qualities to thrive later in life.
