About Grestone Academy

Grestone Academy is a mixed primary for children aged 3-11, located in Birmingham, West Midlands. The school became an academy on 1 October 2013, governed by a local governing body that includes parents, members of staff and representatives from its sponsor, Hamstead Hall Academy Trust.

In January 2016, Grestone Academy opened its Nursery which is open to pupils for 15 hours free childcare per week the term after children turn 3. We also offer 30 hour places for free to working parents.

Grestone Academy offers two forms of childcare facilities, which operate before and after the school day.

Values and Vision

Perseverance, respect, independence, diversity and excellence (PRIDE) are the key values of Grestone Academy. All pupils are encouraged to enjoy learning, and develop their abilities and skills to the highest possible level in a safe and secure environment. The school aims to ensure that each pupil acquires effective learning skills, understands the need for healthy living, and feels good about themselves and others. Teachers believe these skills will maximise potential to achieve academic and social success.

Every student at Grestone Academy is expected to maintain an attendance level of 100%. The school stresses that it is the responsibility of everyone in the school community – parents, students, staff and governors – to help achieve this. Attendance of all students is closely monitored.
