• Yellow is the theme for World Smile Day!

  Fri 03 Oct 2025

  On the first Friday in October every year, people celebrate World Smile Day. 

   

  It's a great chance to think about what makes you smile, and maybe draw some smiley faces to bring your friends some cheer. The day comes from the artist behind the iconic yellow smiley face, who decided we needed a day to celebrate smiles.

   

  At Greswold, staff incorporated the colour yellow into their profressional attire for the day and considering the dreary weather today, World Smile Day couldn't have come at a better time! 

  

• Y6 pupil excels at county dance festival!

  Thu 02 Oct 2025

  It'a always a pleasure to share the fantastic exploits of our pupils outside of the school gates and what better way to kick off this year's celebrations by communciating the remarkable efforts of Eleanor in year 6.

   

  Over the last two weekends, Eleanor has competed in solos, duets and group dances in ballet, contemporary, modern, lyrical and acrobatic dance at the autumn festival of the Associated Board of Dance, West Midlands.

   

  She placed in every dance entered and was very proud of her results with 4 gold medals, 5 silver medals, 3 bronze medals and 2 x 4th place. 

   

  Her parents have pointed out that her efforts really typified Eleanor's commitment to demonstrating Greswold's BRICKS values outside of school, especially in "Belonging" to her dance team, and "Success" within the challenging competition. 

   

  Well done Eleanor, you are a role model and inspiration to everyone at Greswold.  We're very proud of you! 

  

• October's Language of the Month is Japanese

  Wed 01 Oct 2025

  The first language of the month has arrived for this academic year and it's Japanese!  Language of the Month is used to promote the wonderful diversity we have amongst our pupil population in relation to what first language they speak. 

   

  Mrs Beddow and the language ambassadors help decide which language to focus on each month and design the posters which are then displayed in every classroom and communal area.

   

  Teachers will encourage children to answer the register in the focused language of the month and promote that language in other ways, through their day-to-day routines and curriculum delivery. 

   

  Our pupil and parent population here at Greswold is so unique that we always look for ways to celebrate and showcase our community.
