Greig City Academy

A very warm welcome to GCA. The successes of our students and the school as a whole are the result of a relentless focus on high standards of academic and personal achievement, positive attitudes towards learning and exemplary behaviour. We make sure the learning environment is well-ordered so that all students can feel safe and enjoy learning. Our students are the best ambassadors for the school - they are positive, lively and courteous and interact well with one another and with staff both in and out of the classroom. At Greig City Academy we believe children should be equipped academically, spiritually and morally to take their place in our modern world.

Our Christian values allow students to develop their own personal character, understand and respect their community and their part within it and flourish in their learning to become happy and successful young people ready for the future. We are situated in the centre of Hornsey High Street, north London. The school is convenient for buses, underground (Piccadilly and Victoria lines) and Hornsey Rail Station. The 144 stops outside the main gate. We have parking facilities but are keen to promote walking, cycling and public transport. Both outdoor and indoor facilities are hired by a wide range of organisations including sports and arts groups, residents’ associations, community groups and training companies.

Students will achieve their highest academic potential at the Academy through the broad and balanced learning experiences we offer, and they will always be encouraged to enjoy learning for its own sake. The heart of the curriculum should be that it meets the needs of children, enabling them to become successful, resilient, confident and empathic learners, well-equipped individuals able to take their place in our society as responsible citizens. To enable us to meet the needs of all our students, we will adapt the core curriculum where appropriate. We also aim to provide a range of learning experiences, both in and outside the classroom, which go beyond the statutory requirements.
