• Big effort needed to hit our Travel Tracker target!

  Fri 13 Jun 2025

  128 Travel Tracker WOW badges will be given out to pupils next week as a reward for their active travel efforts in May.  However, overall engagement was only 21%.  

   

  At present, our engagement percentage for September up to May of this academic year stands at 26% and it's been our aim to consistently hit 30% each month which has only happened once.  As a school, we feel the more children who participate in active travel, the less traffic congestion there will be directly round school and the safer families will feel as well as the obvious health benefits of walking, scooting or cycling. 

   

  So it's time for one more big push for the final half term of this year!  Ditch those cars (or park over 5 minutes away from school), enjoy a walk in the pleasant sunshine and don't forget to fill in your  Travel Tracker! 

  

• Greek is June's Language of the Month

• Y6 pupils take part in Knife Crime Awareness Workshop

  Wed 04 Jun 2025

  This morning, 13 of our Year 6 pupils took part in a specially arranged Knife Crime Awareness Workshop as part of their secondary transition. 

   

  They learned about the impact of knife crime on victims, their families and the communities as well as the consequences and rules around knife crime. They learned what to do if they were in a situation of seeing someone with a knife and what to do if they see someone being hurt by a knife.

   

  Lee from the James Brindley Foundation, who led the session, was hugely impressed with the knowledge and maturity that our pupils showed.

   

  The children thoroughly enjoyed the session, and while some of them were initially slightly hesitant, they all came out feeling confident and with a far better understanding of how to keep themselves safe. 

   

  We have subsequently received some lovely feedback from Lee, who ran the workshop, and kindly stated:

   

  'Can I say what an absolute pleasure it was to deliver a workshop to your fantastic students. Their behaviour, respect, and the insightful questions they asked were a real credit not only to their parents but also to your school.'

   

  With permission from parents, Greswold will be looking to open up this opportunity to more Y6 Greswold pupils in future years. 

  

• More medals for Esme!

  Fri 23 May 2025

  Recently, we celebrated the wonderful achievement of Esme in year 4 on Latest News and her success at a national gymnastics competition held in Jersey.

   

  This week, she brought into school her array of medals and trophies from her recent gymnastics adventures.  The assortment of awards covered a range of different gymnastics disciplines and perfectly demonstrates Esme's all round gymnastic ability and the confidence she gains from her hobbies.  

   

  It's wonderful to be able to share the out-of-school achievements of our pupils and we look forward to the next instalment of Esme's gymnastics career!
