Greenfield Community College opened their doors and welcomed year 6 students and their families recently. This year’s annual open events proved very popular with families who were able to meet students and staff to discover what makes Greenfield a distinctive school in order to make an informed choice about their choice of secondary school. Families were able to get a real sense of the positive environment and the excellent facilities on offer, including the recent investment of 2.6 million pounds in phase one of the schools renovation programme. There were lots of opportunities to be ‘hands on’ as they experienced taster sessions throughout the school.
Parents said “the range of opportunities at Greenfield look great” and “What a lovely atmosphere.”
Executive Headteacher David Priestley welcomed everyone to the school speaking about the high aspirations and achievements at Greenfield. He highlighted the 100% commitment to treating every child as an individual. He ensured that visitors were able to listen to students who spoke eloquently about their personal experiences and how proud they are of their school.
Mr Priestley invited everyone to take the time to look around, meet people and ask questions in order to make their own decisions. All subjects ran active sessions and staff were delighted with the positive feedback they received. Feedback shows that people were really impressed with the commitment and skills of the staff to achieve the very best for students. The quality of care and support was applauded. The quality of the sample menu was also very popular. Staff look forward to welcoming back a new cohort in September to be part of Greenfield’s exciting journey to excellence.
