Greenhall and Little Learners

  Know the individual well

 – We recognise the individuality of the child and are committed to the development of the whole child.

 – We want our children to be offered an ambitious curriculum that is appropriate to their needs, interests and abilities.

 – We aim to provide a high quality, child centred education which maximises every child’s potential.

 – We want our children to be ready for the next steps.

 Happiness & Achievement 

 – We provide a happy, safe, secure & nurturing environment where all are accepted, valued, celebrated, encouraged and  championed to be the best they can be!

 – We recognise, value and celebrate achievements, however small

 – We want our children to be actively engaged in their learning

 – We want our children to have a voice and provide them with the tools to use this through our Total Communication approach & coaching model.

 – We our committed to providing them with champion opportunities.

 – We want to use our Greenhall learning approach to pedagogy to sequence learning effectively & embed knowledge and skills. We use Conductive Education as a teaching approach with our children with physical needs.

 Character for Living & Learning

 – We want our children to have a ‘can do’ attitude and to believe in themselves.

 – We want our children to be as independent as possible

 – We want our children to take risks, to be immersed in practical, first-hand learning experiences.

 – We believe in explicit teaching of behaviour, modelling and emotional coaching.

 – We want to give our children the very best start, to lay the foundations for later learning. What we teach our children, even at such a young age, is preparation for adulthood

 Effective Relationships

 – We believe that people flourish where they are valued. We are committed to providing high support & high challenge – we work WITH others and believe we can all learn from each other.

 – We support families and believe in working in partnership with them. We share our knowledge & skills to equip them to better support their child.

 – We are positive role-models

 – We want our children to learn the value of relationships, respect others & to learn how to embrace community.

 – We believe in caring relationships, based on trust and respect.

How do we know? 

We have five key questions that are inherent to all we do. They are;

 – Do you know me?

 – Do you hear me?

 – Can I trust you?

 – Is this place fair for me?

 – Do you let me fly?

Parents are overwhelmingly positive about the standard of education and care. Comments from parents include: ‘The whole atmosphere is welcoming, parents and children really feel part of the school family…’  Ofsted, 2018
