• Lest We Forget

  Fri 11 Nov 2016

  At Greswold we think it is important to show respect to those who died fighting in service of our country. This week our Year 6 pupils have been selling poppies at playtimes on behalf of the Royal British Legion. Today, on Remembrance Day, our  school community came together to observe a minute's silence in a special assembly. The children also sang 'We Will Remember' - a song about remembering those who died in wars. 

   

  On Sunday two pupils from Year 6 will lay a wreath at the war memorial at St Alphege Church in Solihull. This tradition of reflecting on Remembrance Day is important to us at Greswold and is an example of our school value of Respect.

  

• Walking Bus Launches

  Mon 07 Nov 2016

  Our new walking bus scheme launched today, with eight children walking to school with our walking bus staff. The scheme is designed to cut car journeys to Greswold and promote walking. The bright jackets help the children to be seen when they cross the roads.

   

  We still have places available on the walking bus. Contact the Office for more information.

  

• Indoor Athletics Roadshow

  Fri 04 Nov 2016
  Pupils from Year 5 and 6 were today involved in an indoor athletics roadshow. The children took part in a number of different disciplines including throwing and jumping. We are looking for a team to take part in a competition with other schools later in the year. Last year our team made it all the way through to the finals so we are looking to repeat this success.

  

• A letter from Nick Gibb

  Fri 04 Nov 2016
  We were very pleased to receive a letter from Nick Gibb MP, the Minister of State for School Standards, praising our achievements in last year's Year 1 Phonic Screening Check. The minister recognised that Greswold was in the top 8% of schools in the country for our results and this represented a huge effort by our staff and pupils. The children who took the test, currently in Year 2, can be very proud of themselves.
