• Unveiling ceremony for new play houses for Early Years

  Mon 04 Nov 2019
  The whole of Greswold Primary school community were very proud and extremely grateful to members of Solihull Council's Environmental Initiative team and Birmingham Bentley after they voluntarily built three new playhouses, over half term, for our Early Years' pupils to use and enjoy in their outside area.  This afternoon, Mrs Scott had the honour of unveiling the houses to the children in a lovely ceremony.  As a school, we pride ourselves in working in partnership with our local community and this is an amazing demonstration of how our community selflessly volunteers its time to benefit our children.  It also highlights the lengths our fantastic staff will go to in organising such events with the sole purpose of enhancing the learning lives of pupils here at Greswold Primary. 

  

• New play houses for our FKS area

  Tue 29 Oct 2019

  An amazing, hardworking team from Solihull council have kindly donated their time, resources and expertise skills to create three wonderful pallet, playhouse structures in our FKS outdoor area. A huge thank you to Solihull Council. We are so grateful for your time and we are sure the children will be very excited to see the houses after half term!

   

  Also a big thank you to Birmingham Bentley for their kind donation towards the project. Without the support from the local community and businesses, this project would not be possible.
