We are proud of our academy and what we can achieve here. But don’t just take our word for it, here’s what some of our parents, pupils, and external visitors have to say…
Thank you so much for inviting us into your school yesterday. I have never been in a school where all learners are so engaged, so purposeful and so obviously cared for. It was so nice to witness how every staff member has such high aspirations for each learner and learning is personalised and engaging. It was an inspiring visit.

This school turned-my-life-around, I don’t know where I would be or what would have happened to me without being lucky enough to come here. I got into college, completed an access course and then Level 3 Uniform Service. I now work in private security and am applying to join the Police. I have gone from being on the wrong side of the law, to the right side! I didn’t know at the time, but this school helped me to do that for myself.
Pupil
Thankyou for the home-visits the staff provided during the Power cut closure, this was above-and-beyond! We have seen a massive improvement in my son’s social skills and general well-being since attending Greenfields. I never thought my son would have friends as he was so withdrawn, he now has friends. It’s all you guys doing and he will definitely be staying at Greenfields for Secondary’
Parent
After 3 years of being at Greenfields my child is thriving, especially in confidence and social skills. I couldn’t ask for a safer, more supportive environment for him to learn in.
Parent
The staff at Greenfields stuck with me even when I was hard work, I really appreciate that now, it took me a long time to realise they were trying to help me.
Pupil
We are extremely happy with Greenfields Academy and the progression our son is making. The staff go above and beyond any other school, never giving up on him.
Parent
I just wanted to say how impressed I was by the way you welcome the children into the school in the mornings. To be waiting for the children and greeting them all by first names was wonderful to witness and must be very reassuring for them. All of the children responded beautifully.
A great way to start the day, I wish my 6 year old had the same experience.

I am proud of getting Head Teachers award, I never ever expected that! I appreciate everything that my family, friends and teachers at Greenfields have done for me. I like spending time with my tecahers and school friends.
Pupil
Since my child has started at Greenfields he has come on leaps and bounds. He was a student at his previous school only doing 2 hours a day. Now he is in full days and he loves it. All the staff at the school are exceptional. The receptionists are fantastic; any questions they are on hand to answer. This school has been a true blessing for my child.
Parent
I just wanted to say how well behaved the children were from Miss Dawson’s class when they came to visit our care home to hand out christmas cards they had made for the residents. They were all so polite and even sang on request, putting smiles on alot of faces. Thank you.
