• Year 6 Leavers' Assembly

  Tue 24 Jul 2018

  Our class of 2018 said goodbye to Greswold with a special assembly that looked back on their time at school. There were memories, poems and musical performances for parents to enjoy. We were also delighted to welcome Solihull's mayor Councillor Nash to the assembly. Mrs Nash helped to present the yearbooks to Year 6 - a great reminder of their time at Greswold.

   

  We wish our Year 6 pupils every success for the future and hope they enjoy starting their new schools in September.

   

  Parents might like to watch the assembly again on our brand new Video area of the website. There is also an archive of thousands of photographs that are available until the end of August. You will need to use your child's Greswold email to log in e.g. if their name is Joe Bloggs it would be 25jbloggs@greswold.solihull.sch.uk. The first bit of the email is your child's network user name for the school network so it might be, for example, 25jbloggs1 if someone else has a similar name. The password is the password they use to log on in school. Photographs can be downloaded for personal use only. They should not be reposted elsewhere on social media.

  Wed 18 Jul 2018
  After a year of training and games against other schools, Miss Jacob's basketball club spent their last session get rather wet.

• PTA Summer Fayre

  Sat 14 Jul 2018
  We had a fantastic summer day for this year's PTA Summer Fayre with the sun shining all afternoon. There was a wild west theme to the event which featured performances from each year group and the Animated Dance clubs. The food and drink stands were busy all day long dishing out refreshments. We also had plenty of games to play including panning for gold, splat the rat and feed the cowboy. Many thanks to everyone who came along to support and to the PTA for organising a wonderful fayre. All the money raised will support children here at Greswold.
