We believe our role is to instil confidence in all; ensuring the creation of 21st Century learners.

We have a strong set of values. Our core values of unity, respect, acceptance, freedom and aspiration are at the heart of ‘Team Greenacres’ and are central to our curriculum. We want our values and love of learning to prepare children for society and later life.

The success of the thematic approach entwined with a core set of values can be seen in the enjoyment on the children’s faces, in their outcomes and through the dedication of staff and the relationships we foster.
