Discover Greenfield

Little School Nursery is split into four rooms: Fledglings (6mths-2), Owls (2-3), and Orange and Red Robins (3-4). They are bright and airy spaces, which enable our dedicated staff to provide the very best resources, care and learning opportunities to the children.

Fledglings have their own dedicated outdoor play area for easy indoor-outdoor access, whereas Owls and Robins children utilise the Early Years play area direct from their own classroom.

More on Little School

The Science lab is located on the first floor of the Discovery Building and is equipped with lab benches and stools to aid experiments and research. You will often find the tables covered in resources and eager teams surrounding their group work as they test and record their theories. 

Science topics are covered in Reception and throughout Lower School, with specialist teaching taking place from Year 3. The children cover chemistry, physics and biology, as well as having termly STEM afternoons lead by our Head of Science.

The DT and Art rooms are ideally situated next to one another. These generously sized spaces enable the children to take on challenging artistic, design and construction projects, and utilise our array of excellent resources, during their lessons and clubs.

The kiln is a particular favourite of the children, and the DT room is equipped with ovens and work benches to enable effective teaching of cookery and food technology, which is delivered as part of the DT curriculum.

Our Pre-Prep classrooms are situated in the heart of the school, nestled between the familiar Early Years Department with the Prep School classrooms just across the courtyard. This gives our Lower School children a feeling of complete safety, whilst also placing them as the most senior children within the Pre-Prep and the added independence and maturity that brings.

The classrooms are spacious and airy, with access straight into both the courtyard and the atrium library.

Our Early Years and Reception classes enjoy access to their own play area, which has age-appropriate climbing equipment, toys and resources to help support their development.

In the classrooms, you will find plenty of colour and inspiration, creating the optimum environment for young children. Every classroom is equipped with an interactive whiteboard and the children are also able to make use of school iPads from a young age.

The Early Years Education we deliver at Greenfield is ambitious and carefully sequenced to help the children build on their learning over time.

The Arts have always been a strength of the school, and the Performing Arts facilities are unmatched in a standalone Prep School.

Cleverly situated along one wing of the building, the double-height music room, sound-proof music practice pods and the drama and dance studio offer the very best opportunities to the children to enhance their skillsets. At the opposite end of the corridor, you will find the stage, where many a theatrical moment has taken place!

Music and Drama are taught by specialist staff from Year 1 upwards and the vast majority of children take on additional instrumental or singing tuition with one of our talented peripatetic teachers.

The Multimedia Suite is a huge asset in our mission to educate children in the ever-changing world of technology. A full class set of desktops compliment iPads and laptops that are available for use around the school. VR headsets and green screen recording equipment are also housed here.

The large room offers plenty of space for the children to gather, showcase their inventions or view work on the big screen.

Two full-size, enclosed and floodlit outdoor netball courts provide a superb facility for netball and tennis.

Over on the playing fields, children play football and tag rugby, and cricket and athletics during the summer.

The children regularly compete in fixtures across many sports,  including tag rugby, football, cricket and netball, among others.

In the Dining Room, the children enjoy Breakfast Club, Lunch and Tea Time in a spacious and modern atmosphere. With wooden flooring and bi-fold doors, the versatile space is also used for functions, celebrations and events throughout the year.

At the back of the school field sits a shaded woodland area, where children of all ages enjoy outdoor learning. Little School children develop their mobility in the natural play area, complete with wheel barrows and a makeshift kitchen. As part of their curriculum, children in Reception and upwards enjoy lessons in the Forest School where they learn exciting new skills including orienteering, wilderness survival and identifying plants and creatures.

Greenfield has the advantage of hugely accessible, useable outside space. The school has large playing fields suitable for football and tag rugby, as well as cricket and athletics. Large enough for multiple year groups to be outside at any time, the space affords the children opportunities to host home games and tournaments throughout the year.
