Welcome to Greystoke School. I hope our website conveys a sense of our rich, happy, purposeful community and the passion we have for learning. We share an ambition to be the best we can be. This happens through working in partnership with parents in developing children's confidence and resilience.
Visitors are struck by our harmonious and stimulating school in which all children are inspired,encouraged to flourish and excel and every child's achievements celebrated. We value academic achievement, encourage excellence but appreciate that other qualities are equally likely to lead to success later in life.
Our pupils broaden their horizons through the rich curriculum as well as the wide range of extra-curricular activities: Film Club, Mathswhizz, Computing Club, Games Club and French Club. Greystoke School is a special place. Children have been educated here for the last 180 years. They enjoy being here and are extremely proud of the school they belong to.
