Greenfield Special School

Greenfield is a warm, friendly and inclusive school where we aim to provide a safe and nurturing environment. There is a positive atmosphere within the school and the care and support that staff provide is exceptional which is clear to all that know and visit the school. We cater for pupils with a wide range of needs and we strive to ensure that every pupil enjoys their learning and is given the opportunity to reach their potential. We do this through a Person Centered Approach which means that we spend time to find out about what is important to our pupils and how they learn best. We offer a wide range of therapies so that pupils can have their specific physical, learning, social and emotional needs met. We practise Positive Behaviour Support where we look at behaviours from the child or young person’s perspective so that we can understand the purpose of their behaviour in order to support positive changes.

It is an exciting time in education as we are introducing a new curriculum. Curriculum for Wales 2022 is designed to prepare young people to thrive in a future where digital skills, adaptability and creativity as well as knowledge are crucial. In Greenfield we have already started planning the new curriculum and are pleased that it allows us to be creative and innovative so that learning is fun, exciting and relevant to our pupils.
