• Tesco partnership pockets Greswold £1,500!

  Tue 02 Jun 2026

  For the last few months, Greswold's PTA has been one of the charitieis advertised in local Tesco stores for customers to donate charity tokens too.  Stories including Hermitage Road, Hobs Moat and Solihull Centre were places where shoppers could donate their tokens.  As a result of our involvement, the final amount received has been revealed to be £1,500, the biggest amount any charity can obtain.  

   

  Thank you to the PTA for their dedication in sourcing funding opportunities and onbviously to any families who helped contribute their tokens to our success.  The money will help to resource outdoor areas around year 3. 

  

• The weather stays dry for first Y2 Brandon Marsh visit

  Tue 02 Jun 2026

  Making a home for a hedgehog, pond dipping, den building and making a wild flower 'bomb' were just some of the activities the children from Y2 Rabbits took part in today at Brandon Marsh.  The visit helps to immerse the children in their current Science learning and as you can see below, the children excelled in everything they attempted. 

  

• A perfect poem to promote Walk to School Week

  Tue 02 Jun 2026

  Dhruvi from Year 6 was inspired enough by our Walk to School Week promotion that she wrote her own poem in her own time, and what a fabulous poem it is.  Thank you Dhruvi, a great demonstration of our values of Independence and Curiosity. 

  

• St Andrew's and St Patrick's victorious at enjoyable Sports' Days

  Tue 02 Jun 2026

  Well done to St Andrew's who won last term's KS1 and Reception Sports' Days and congratulations to St Patrick's who were victorious at the KS2 event.

   

  Sports' days are one of Greswold's most memorable annual events and this year's events were no different.  Parents and families attended in huge numbers and gave wonderful support throughout.  

   

  Thank you to Mrs Reilly and Mr Isles who organised such efficient events and a big thank you to all the children who demonstrated our values perfectly while enjoying the sporting fun. 

   

  

• Greswold pupils using their creative talents to promote Walk to School Week

  Mon 01 Jun 2026

  The outside and inside of school was adorned with fabulously creative bunting during Walk to School Week, designed by every child at Greswold.  

   

  However, their messages were just as important and powerful.  It's great to see more children using bikes and scooters to come to school as well as walking but, as you can see from the designs below, the children feel that we can all do a bit better and either leave the car at home or park it well away from the school.  

  

• Greswold classes draw their World Cup teams

  Fri 22 May 2026

  Yesterday, each class took part in a draw to find out which two countries they would be following during next month's football World Cup. 

   

  However, Greswold are never ones to miss out on a learning opportunity too so children will use Home Learning and some class time, if they want, to research their chosen countries in more detail while also comparing the two as well, perfectly demonstrating next term's value of Curiosity.

• Showcasing independence was the order of the day in House Point assemblies today

  Thu 21 May 2026

  Today's House Point assemblies really celebrated the independence shown by several of our pupils and their acheivements out of school this term.

   

  We heard from Lyla and her gymnastics talents, Kiyam and his achievement of having his poem published in a book which will be sold nationwide as well as siblings Eleanor and Daniel who are currently excelling at their respective Dance and Gymnastic clubs outside of school. 

   

  Our new value of Curiosity was introduced by holding a World Cup draw so that each class in school will have two countries to follow and find out about. 

   

  St Andrew's still have a healthy lead on the House Pint leaderboard going into the final half term and well done to Y6 Cedars who have the best attendance of all classes so far this year and Reception Bumblebees who had the most improved attendance for the first summer half term. 

  

• Nursery pupils help to kick off our busy Sports' Day week

  Tue 19 May 2026

  Unfortunately, the weather was against our first Sports' Day of the year which meant Nursery had to retreat to the lower school hall for their sporting fun.

   

  Nevertheless, the staff and parents had a fabulous time supporting the children in each of their races.  

   

  The parents were also particualrly good at performing a Mexican Wave! 

  

• Anyone for pasta? Year 6 have just the right recipe

  Tue 19 May 2026

  At Greswold, one change we've made to our Design and Technology curriculum offer is that every year group now undertakes a module on food technology, helping to emphasise key learning from other subjects including Science, PSD and PE with regards to balanced diets and healthy lifestyles.  It also helps to develop an all important life skill too. 

   

  A new addition to year 6's D&T has been lessons focusing on designing and making a pasta sauce.  Children have sampled sauces, evaluated the ingredients, refined their chopping and slicing skills and designed their own sauce which they've made with a partner.  

   

  The best part was obviously the tasting which they then evaluating to see how successful they felt they had been.

   

  We definitely seem to have some potential chefs here at Greswold!  Well done year 6. 

  

• Year 6 finish SATs week with immersive World War II experience

  Fri 15 May 2026

  An immersive experience of World War II delivered by an external company of actors was the perfect way to end year 6 SATs week.

   

  The children excelled in SATs week, all maturely approaching each day and each test, demonstrating our Greswold values perfectly.  Thank you to our parents for helping to prepare the children for each day.

   

  On the Friday, learning continued but through a special visit, organised by staff, to help deliver information and learning about World War II in our History curriculum.

   

  The children thoroughly enjoyed the day and was a perfect end to a challenging week.
