"My children are all different abilities. Greenbank has recognised this and approaches each child individually. I only wish they could stay here forever!" Parent
At Greenbank, our curriculum extends beyond the National Curriculum, which we view as a foundational framework. We design a dynamic and diverse programme of study that inspires curiosity, nurtures individual talents, and equips our children to thrive in an ever-changing world. By tailoring learning experiences to each child's needs, interests, and potential, we create a stimulating and enjoyable environment that fosters both academic achievement and personal growth.
Our approach embeds technology seamlessly across all curriculum areas, ensuring pupils develop the digital skills essential for the future. From interactive Promethean boards to our Media Suite, iPads, Chromebooks, and classroom laptops, children use technology to enhance their understanding and creativity in innovative ways.
We also believe that learning happens everywhere. Our curriculum takes children beyond the classroom, with forest school sessions and outdoor learning opportunities that encourage a deep connection with nature. Our eco-initiatives are a thread running through everything we do, cultivating a strong sense of environmental responsibility and sustainability from an early age.
Our commitment to delivering a broad and balanced curriculum allows us to place a strong emphasis on mathematics and English while providing enriching experiences in science, computing, history, geography, art, design and technology, religious education, PSHE, music, modern foreign languages, speech and drama, physical education, and games.
Above all, we pride ourselves on fostering a positive attitude toward learning. At Greenbank, academic excellence is complemented by a focus on social, emotional, and physical wellbeing, ensuring every child is equipped to achieve their full potential and navigate life with confidence and resilience.
Banks Bee is a whole-school reward initiative encouraging children to: Bee Committed; Bee Involved; Bee Loyal; Bee Bold and BE THE BEST THEY CAN BEE!
We are proud to be a school which values community and involvement. Banks Bee is here to keep the Greenbank Family together!
As our children progress through the school, they will be rewarded for their participation and endeavour through Banks Bee’s reward scheme – comprising of bronze, silver, gold and even platinum awards.
