Greengate Lane Academy

We are very proud of our children and their achievements which are based on aspiration and high expectations among all the staff, children and parents who work together to provide the best possible experiences and education.

We aim to provide a relevant curriculum which inspires our children to develop not only the key aspect English and Maths understanding but also the personal attributes of resilience, fairness, honesty and the ability to challenge themselves in a safe environment where children are encouraged to take creative risks and to forge their own learning in ways they find interesting.

We are also proud to be part of Astrea Academy Trust - this is a hugely exciting time for our family of schools. Astrea has been recognised by the Department for Education as being well placed to raise standards and achieve excellence for pupils in a growing number of schools nationwide. We are presented with a rare opportunity to make a real difference to the lives and life chances of school children – many of whom haven’t previously received the educational opportunities they deserve.

We value collaboration and support with and from a number of sources. We work with the trust and other agencies to seek out best practice, based on research and to make it relevant to our school. We value staff development as a major keystone to enable the school to improve and progress. Our staff are able to work alongside each other to develop research based projects. Many of our teachers work with other schools to develop aspects of work as well as developing their own leadership skills within school.

We work hard and value the work we do - we know it makes a difference to our children and the community we serve.  We hope that you want to join us.
