A very warm welcome to Greenfield Academy website. My name is James Keating I am very privileged to be the Executive Headteacher of the Academy. This is an exciting time for everyone connected with Greenfield. We have just become an Academy and joined the Advance Learning Partnership Multi Academy Trust.
In addition to this we have also secured funding for a completely new state of the art school building scheduled to be opened for 25/26 academic year. We all look forward to moving into this facility and know it will support the development and achievement of all our children now and in the future. I hope you find the website informative and helpful.
However, if you require further information or wish to speak to one of our dedicated staff, please do not hesitate to contact us. If you are a prospective parent or would like to see the education on offer, we welcome visitors and would be delighted to see you and discuss any aspect of your child's education.
Greenfield Academy is an ambitious caring school where we seek to give every child, every opportunity, every day.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
