St David's edge in front to take this year's House title!
Wed 17 Jul 2024Congratulations to the pupils of St David's who claimed this year's House Point trophy by edging in front of St George's in the final half term of the year.
The St David's House captain was awarded their trophy in today's final House Point assembly with St George's coming second followed by St Andrew's then St Patrick's.
A special well done to Year 3 Sparrows who achieved the highest attendance of all 22 classes this year with 96%. A special mention should be given to Y4 Skylarks and Y4 Nightingales who both scored 95.9% and Y2 Otters with 95.8%.
In terms of this year's Travel Tracker, congratulations to Y6 with the highest engagement across the school. As year 6 are able to travel to school by themselves, a special mention should also go to Y4 Chaffinches and to Y1 Owls whose engagement percentages were higher than this year's school target of 30%.
This year's whole school engagement percentage was 24%, something for everyone to strive to surpass next year.

More music assemblies to showcase Greswold pupils' talents and endeavours!
Wed 17 Jul 2024Following on from last week's fabulous Violin assembly, this week KS2 have been treated once again to two more wonderfully captivating performances, this time from keyboard and guitar players.
Children participating in the performance are all pupils who have received peripatetic music lessons throughout the course of the year and it's wonderful to be able to see and hear their progress.
Performing in front of a live audience, which included their families, must have been daunting but all musicians have made their families, Greswold and hopefully themselves very proud over the last two weeks. Well done.

A treat for everyone - Y6's stunning art exhibition!
Tue 16 Jul 2024On Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning, the Upper School Hall resembled an authentic art gallery as year 6 showcased their creativity and skill.
Every child was tasked with producing a piece of artwork, with their choice of media. They also had to devise a name for it, using their sketchbooks to communicate their intentions and preparations.
By the reaction of the numerous visitors, it appeared that all year 6 pupils had engaged and astounded their intended audience. Well done children and thank you to Miss Summers (Art Subject Leader) and year 6 staff for organising such a lovely community event.

A fabulous PTA Summer Fayre to finish another successful fundraising year!
Mon 15 Jul 2024Thank you to all the families who attended Saturday's PTA Summer Fayre and helped to make it such an enjoyable occasion. As always, the fayre marks the closing stages of another Greswold academic year and this year's event again didn't disappoint.
For Nerissa, the Chair of the PTA, this year's event was extra special as she finishes her tenure with the PTA and, as a school, we would like thank her for the commitment and selflessness she has displayed over the years, both as Chair and Deputy-Chair.
Greswold's Got Talent was a real success and the weather gods were definitely on our side, helping to make the event even more special.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to the event's success and a total profit of £3200 which is brilliant!

KS2 treated to muscial performance by violinists!
Wed 10 Jul 2024This morning's KS2 assembly was used to showcase the talents and hard work of our violinists here at Greswold. The children who have been receiving lessons from Solihull Music Service this year put on a wonderful show which the audience, including parents of the musicians, thoroughly enjoyed.
Zoe in year 6, who has recently attained a distinction in her music exam, finished the concert with a wonderful rendition of Star Wars but with a bit of a twist! The children absolutely loved her finale!
Well done to all the children involved for your endeavours this year and for entertaining the school.
