Welcome to Greenfield Academy

I feel proud and privileged to be Headteacher of Greenfield E-ACT Academy, a happy and vibrant school in the heart of Knowle, Bristol. We believe that every child should feel a sense of belonging to our school community and enjoy their learning. I am extremely passionate about teaching and learning and consequently have very high expectations of both pupils and staff. I strongly believe that every single child should feel safe, happy, valued and cared for so that they are nurtured to flourish during their time with us.

We are a community driven school that supports pupils in developing their inner compass to become successful members of society. We prioritise Respect, Integrity, Resilience and Consideration to ensure all pupils can become the best version of themselves. We show these values by:

Respect:

Treat others the way you want to be treated.

Value differences, listen actively, and speak kindly.

Integrity:

Do what’s right, even when no one is watching.

Be honest, own your actions, and stay true to your values.

Perseverance:

Keep going, even when it’s tough.

Set goals, face challenges, and never give up.

Consideration:

Think beyond yourself.

Be aware of others’ feelings, needs, and space.

These values are further embedded through out partnership with our Multi-Academy Trust, E-ACT. Their core values are Thinking Big, Doing the Right Thing and Team Spirit. 

All staff at Greenfield, are committed to providing a high-quality education that not only meets academic standards but also supports the holistic development of each child. Our dedicated staff are focused on creating a safe, inclusive, and engaging learning environment where students are encouraged to explore, innovate, and achieve their full potential. We have robust procedures in place to ensure safeguarding underpins all we do at, allowing them to take risks and grow.

It is our aim that all our children should become confident and resilient young people, assured in their strengths, and prepared to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing future. To achieve this we offer an academic curriculum that strives to expose all pupils to the richness of education, allowing them to experience a diversity of subjects during their time with us. This exposure allows individuals to discover their passions setting them on a path to future learning and life beyond education.
