Inspiring lifelong learning through joy and creativity
At Greenfield Primary School, we are committed to providing a happy and vibrant education that is caring and supportive, working in a stimulating and structured environment, where all children are encouraged to reach their full potential. As a head teacher, I have always been principled about learning. I am a learner, and I love to learn.
