Each academy within Greenheart Learning Partnership has a shared Vision and Ethos, however each academy is unique and its application of this vision and ethos uniquely reflects the community it serves. To learn more about the Partnership ethos use the link below top visit the partnership website.
Fairway Primary Academy, in the Kings Norton area of Birmingham, provides for the education of children between the ages of four to eleven. We are proud members of the Greenheart Learning Partnership, a family of schools and a supportive network of educational experts that puts pupils first.
Being part of a wider group of schools means that we can offer so much to pupils in other communities as well as learning from others as we undertake our learning journey.
We strive to provide a happy and caring learning environment, where pupils are encouraged to thrive in many ways, including, socially, emotionally, culturally and academically to achieve the best they possibly can. Developing resilience to overcome challenges is at the heart of our ethos.
