Our school's motto, Excellence and Enjoyment for All encapsulates our daily commitment to fostering the best possible achievement among all pupils, regardless of their abilities, whilst placing happiness and safety at the heart of everything we do. The Greenfield team have incredibly high expectations of our pupils and believe in limitless potential.
My colleagues and I are proud to serve the community of Greenfield and have done so since 1912. Many of our families have had connections with the school which stretch back to its early existence and this continuity has allowed unique aims and values to be embedded in the fabric of school life.
In 2019 Greenfield Primary School moved from its original Victorian building halfway down Shaw Street to our new, state of the art, facility built on the old school field site at the end of the street. Though the building may be modern, the values of our school remain. Greenfield Primary School prides itself on being the village school .
