At Greenfields, we also greatly value Outside Education.

As a "flagship" school for the Food For Life Partnership, we are able to provide a variety of opportunities for the children to learn outside the classroom.

We have a gardener, Jane Needham, who works with us a day per week, developing the grounds and outside learning areas as well as teaching gardening skills to Year 3 children. All of the food that we grow in school is used either within cooking sessions or by the kitchen staff at dinnertime.

Skilled Teaching Assistants are able to teach basic cooking skills to all of the children in school, either within the specially established Cooking Room or within the curriculum in classes.

Two teachers are also fully trained as Forest School teachers, enabling all of the children from Nursery to Year 4 to learn through a Forest Schools programme on school grounds all year round.
