• Allotment Update

  Thu 25 Jun 2015
  Earlier this year, Mrs Cooper won funding for Greswold to have a fantastic community garden created  so our pupils could enjoy growing their own food. After planting and looking after a variety of different plants over the past months, today pupils from Year 4 got to bring in the first harvest of lettuce. The fresh salad was then enjoyed by Year 6 who had been cooking themselves. We look forward to more home grown crops when they are ready.

  

• Greswold Expansion Proposal

  Thu 25 Jun 2015

  In February 2015, Solihull Council approved the School Organisation Plan which outlined the need to add additional primary school places due to an increasing birth rate, population growth and housing developments. Greswold Primary School is the Council’s preferred location to meet  the demand from parents living in the area and the needs of future housing development. The additional places are needed so that children living in its catchment or, those with brothers and sisters at the school can be offered a place.

   

  More details about the proposals are available on this page.

• Year 2 Golf

  Wed 24 Jun 2015

  Children from Year 2 headed to Tudor Grange park in Solihull for a mini-golf tournament. It's another new event for Greswold and the children enjoyed a number of different golfing challenges. The weather was glorious and Mrs Howell was very proud of how sensibly the children took part in the activities. Perhaps the day will have inspired a few children to take up the sport. More pictures are available on the Extranet.
