Year 6 say farewell to Greswold
Fri 18 Jul 2025There were plenty of tears on show, both from parents and pupils, as year 6 celebrated the end of their primary careers with a lovely assembly for their families.
As a school, we've said goodbye to Mrs Corcoran, Miss Smart, Mrs Read and Miss Baker this week and now it was the turn of our fabulous year 6 pupils.
Songs, poems, speeches and trophies were the name of the game as four pupils were awarded with our annual achievement trophies.
Year 5 then formed a guard of honour to give their Y6 schoolmates the perfect send off!

25% Travel Tracker engagement for this academic year!
Fri 18 Jul 2025A quarter of the school have regularly engaged with the Travel Tracker this academic year leading to 1,673 badges being awarded!
Over 31,000 active journeys were logged which amounted to 97% of all journeys. 25% of the whole school took part with year 5 easily being the most active with an incredible 538 badges awarded, nearly 300 more than any other year group!
Next year, our aim is to reach 30% of the school community regularly using the Travel Tracker, which in turn promotes healthy lifestyles, reduces traffic congestion and makes school journeys safer for everyone!

Parent communication available during six-week holiday
Fri 18 Jul 2025Dear Parents and Carers,
At Greswold, we realise that six weeks is an awful long time in the development of young people and children and that is why we're going to open up a communication channel as a prelude to the pupils returning in September.
Halfway through the holiday, parents will receive an app message with a link to access a communication form. This will allow parents to update school and class teachers of any important matters that may have taken place over the holiday. This isn't compulsory, however we feel it might be helpful. Matters might include:
- an update on medical conditions
- information about a significant event
- general worries or concerns
- information helpful to the class teacher
These will then be forwarded to the relevant members of staff so they are aware of any matters prior to the children starting on the 2nd September thus helping pupil transition even further. Please note that staff will not be responding to queries until the start of term.
Thank you

Disabled parking bays to be used by Blue Badge Holders only
Thu 17 Jul 2025Dear Parents and Carers,
This is a polite reminder for all vehicle users to refrain from using the five disabled parking bays directly outside of school unless you have a Blue Badge clearly shown. This includes before and after school for families attending Greswold Greyhounds or after-school clubs.
The Blue Badge holder should also be present when using the bays.
Thank you

It's a 10 out of 10 for Y6 and their final Greswold performance!
Thu 17 Jul 2025WOW! What a memorable evening for everyone who attended Year 6's final Greswold performance on Tuesday at Bushell Hall theatre at Solihull School.
The Amazing Adventures of Super Stan was truly amazing and each and every child shone in their respective roles. With their singing, acting, humour and comic timing, the children entertained the captivated audience for the entire performance.
The children were a credit to themselves, their families and to the Greswold community, perfectly demonstrating all of the values we try to instil into our children. Thank you children for such a wonderful evening!
A great deal of thanks and appreciation needs to go to all of the staff involved, but particularly Mr Hobday, Miss Awan and Mrs Foster for how they engineered such a fabulous performance. A wonderful team effort!

Y3 Robins showcase their impressive drumming skills!
Tue 15 Jul 2025This morning, Year 3 Robins gave their parents a lovely end of year treat with a wonderful singing and drumming performance. All year 3 pupils have been taught by Miss Korman this year as part of their percussive music lessons and it was Robins' turn to perform to their parents.
