We are a wonderful one-form entry school with a nursery based in the heart of Shepherd's Bush, West London. Greenside is a proud member of The Elliot Foundation Academies Trust (TEFAT) which is a successful, charitable multi-academy trust specialising in primary academies. We work very closely with other schools within this Trust which provides support, collaboration and networking opportunities across London, East Anglia and the West Midlands. To find out more about TEFAT please visit their website https://www.elliotfoundation.co.uk/
At Greenside, we proudly inspire, challenge and nurture our pupils through an innovative learning model of food, film and fun. Our rich, diverse curriculum enables our pupils to express themselves as creative, independent and resilient learners.
Our aim is for all of our pupils to be 'World Ready' and 'Test Ready' throughout their time with us. This is achieved through experiential, hands-on learning, where pupils are given opportunities to develop, grow and deepen their knowledge and understanding of the world. We are dedicated to ensuring that we educate our pupils to understand that we are all change-makers and that the power to shape the future belongs not only to the few, but to us all.
Greenside holds the honour of being an Apple Distinguished School, a recognition it has earned for effectively integrating technology to support children in an ever-changing world. Art is also a focus at Greenside, and we take pride in our continuous recognition of the Artsmark Platinum status.
In addition to this, we achieved the notable distinction of winning the London's Sustainable School of the Year award in 2022, showcasing our commitment to educating pupils about sustainability. The importance of sustainability is imparted to Greenside pupils, and our school gardens flourish with home-grown vegetables and fruits. These produced items find their way into our vegetarian school lunches, often with pupil involvement in the preparation process. We are also particularly proud of our Greenside Micro Bakery, in which pupils prepare bread to share with the wider community.
