At Greenvale our ethos is ‘Nurture – Inspire – Succeed’ and our school visions are based around our 6 Core Values which underpin all that we do and add to the success and inclusive nature of our school:
Respect, Readiness, Resourcefulness, Responsibility, Resilience and Reflectiveness
We believe that children need to play, explore, observe, investigate, repeat, copy, problem solve and represent in order to come to terms with themselves, other people and the world around. We are lucky to have a staff of wonderfully inspiring and dedicated teachers and teaching assistants, who not only have high expectations in all areas of the curriculum, but are also supportive of every child's needs.
Our school serves a community facing significant socio-economic challenges, but we see this as a strength, not a barrier. We are proud of our inclusive ethos, strong relationships with families, and our commitment to meeting pupils’ academic, social and emotional needs.
We are supported by a dedicated staff team, engaged governors and a Headteacher who values collaboration, professional growth and distributed leadership.
