and PSHCE Lead
Here at The Greetland Academy, we are preparing our pupils to be able to flourish and thrive with the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of life in modern day Britain. We provide opportunities that support pupils’ spiritual, moral, social, cultural, mental and physical development. Our plan for personal development is designed using a tiered approach: our school values and whole school strategies, our curriculum and targeted personal development. In addition, we ensure that we make responsive changes where necessary.
Our curriculum is inclusive and meets the needs of all our pupils, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) by adapting teaching and learning to suit all children and all abilities. We ensure that our curriculum fosters equality of all the protected characteristics by ensuring the quality of an inclusive and diverse curriculum. Our teachers have the freedom to design their long term plans to suit the needs of their class looking at PSHCE links throughout the whole school curriculum. Through our PSHCE and RSHE education, we teach pupils the knowledge, skills, and attributes they need to keep themselves mentally and physically healthy and safe, to manage their lives, now and in the future.
The curriculum at Greetland is rich and inspiring and we offer a broad range of experiences and opportunities. In order to engage and enthuse our pupils, purposeful links are made across all areas of the curriculum. Pupil wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do: we aim to educate the whole child to enable them to be the best that they can be.
Whilst it is my priority that the education your child receives here with us will enable them to achieve their academic potential and progress confidently into the next phase of their education, it is also part of my vision that all our children are filled with positive experiences, that they are aware of the endless possibilities that await them and that they are nurtured in order to develop within them a confidence to embrace whatever comes their way. Underpinning the above, is my relentless commitment to ensuring that the children of Greetland Academy possess the values that enable them to live well in society and are prepared to deal effectively with the challenges that the modern world presents.
All of my staff share this vision and recognise children as unique individuals with specific talents and needs. They work tirelessly to provide a varied and engaging curriculum and a positive school experience. You will find our classrooms to be hives of activity and full of creativity and learning, making Greetland a special place indeed for children.
If you would like to know more about our school, you are very welcome to come and visit. The children of Greetland very much enjoy talking about and sharing their achievements and our successes.
