Above all else, everyone at Greenfield strives to ensure that our children are happy and thriving when at school. We are always incredibly grateful to receive positive feedback from families and believe that they are a valuable source of information for prospective parents.
Here are some quotes and testimonials from some current and past families.
“… We are so thrilled with how well they have settled in, so thanks to all your amazing staff for helping them. They are both really enjoying attending Greenfield and seem very happy after school. We definitely feel we have made the right choice in school for them. Thanks again for the update, and all your help this far.”

“… We are really pleased with how well, and how quickly, he has settled in. He comes home and chats about all the fun he has had each day and that is testament to the friendly, welcoming staff in the Little School and the structured activities they provide for the children… We are really looking forward to seeing how he develops during his time at the Little School and main school. ”
-Parent of child in Robins, November 2024
“…I wanted to share some lovely things that I have been hearing from her this past week and especially today. She cannot stop expressing her happiness at being in school with her friends and her teachers. I asked her which subject she liked the most and her answer was “Every Single One!” It made me chuckle a bit but it shows how much the lessons have been delivered in such a way that learning has become fun, and how far she is coming along… She was crying a lot last Friday when I picked her up and when I asked her what happened, she was in tears saying I am really sad that school has finished this week and Monday is so long away. What a feeling for a child to have! I am actually envious I didn’t get to experience this in my school days… She is blessed to have this experience and we cannot wait to see her thrive in the years to come.”
-Parent of child in Year 2, July 2024
“…He settled surprisingly quickly, which is so great to see and such a relief. He’s very engaged in his learning and looks forward to going in. He comes home with lovely stories from playtime and about his classmates, so we are delighted to see him interacting well with his peers. I’m so glad [the school’s] observations align with what we are seeing. Thank you so much for your support in his admission and settling in.”

“I wanted to say thank you for all the amazing support you have given [our daughter] since we have been at Greenfield. As [she] progresses, I realise how incredibly lucky we have been to have crossed paths with you. It is not an understatement to say you and your team have transformed [her] life and made us think everything is possible for her. It’s easy to take these things for granted and become accustomed to a supportive environment. So I wanted to take a moment to say thank you to you, your ethos and the incredible team you have created. I am truly grateful.”

“I just wanted to send you a very quick note to relay something [our son] has said recently. He was completing a tricky piece of Maths homework, and when I offered to support him, he replied ‘No thank you, Greenfield gave me all the tools I need to help me through it’. Isn’t that just the most wonderful gift you have all given! I am so proud of progress [he] has made on his journey so far, but he couldn’t of done it without the most amazing support of everyone at Greenfield. I know I have said it to you a hundred times, but I will say it once more…thank you for changing his life.”

“I just want to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to yourself and the whole of Greenfield School/community for all your support and all you have done for us as a family, especially the girls. They have loved every minute of their time at Greenfield and we as a family will miss you all terribly. You have helped them overcome so many challenges and fears and I can see just how Greenfield has shaped their lives and their capabilities in the classroom it really is quite incredible how far hey have come and how they still love learning, one of the biggest gifts in life.”

“We have been so pleased with the change of the school and very impressed by Greenfield.
[Our son] has been loving Greenfield, and he really likes his teacher and all his classmates. According to him, the learning environment is great and much better than before; he says all the children are very well behaved. He finds all the lessons interesting and likes the extra challenge. We are very happy with the homework and find the guidelines very clear. We were also very impressed to see how much had already been covered in class when we went in last Wednesday to see his books. His teacher gave us some very helpful and lovely feedback too. He] also loves the fact that he can play football at breaktime. He has been loving all the extracurricular clubs that you offer and the ukulele and recorder music lessons. He was able to play tunes back at home after the very first lessons and was very pleased with himself. On our side, we see a much happier and relaxed [child] everyday. He seems to like the more structured work and tasks which seems to give him extra confidence in his ability to do well and to progress.
The drop off and pick up system has been brilliant and [he] really enjoys walking to his classroom by himself. He also seems to find the canteen meals delicious.
We are very thankful that you offered [our son] a space at Greenfield.”

“I just wanted to send a quick thank you email for providing such a rich environmental for both our boys to flourish. They both seem so enthusiastic about life and school. [Our youngest son] is taking off like a rocket with his reading, writing and creativity. [Our eldest son] seems to always be in a PE kit, mastering the drums and is really getting interested in his Maths at the moment. What wonderful opportunities.”
– Parent of children in Year 3 and Year 6, November 2022.
“We are absolutely delighted with how [our daughter] has settled, and what a wonderful time she is having at Greenfield already, (she tells us every day), it is truly an amazing school and [moving her to Greenfield] was one of the best decisions we have made.
Please extend our thanks to Mrs Botting and all of the team who have helped to make [her] so happy and ensure her move was painless!
We look forward to many happy years ahead.”
–Reception parent, September 2022.
“We just wanted to let you know that we now have two very happy boys at Greenfield School. [Our youngest] has settled so quickly and I had a good meeting with his teacher last week who was very calm and reassuring about his progress, considering he is so young for the year. He seems to know half the school already!
[Our eldest] is also very happy and his teacher was extremely helpful this week in helping him address some of his worries about not getting things right all the time and the frustration that comes with that. It is so reassuring to see a school address issues like this so well so the children get used to talking about their feelings and worries at a young age.”
