At Greenwood we are proud to follow our own philosophy which we believe gives children the healthiest start to their educational journey.

We follow a project-based approach to our planning and every year our project is Planet Earth. During term time we focus on a biweekly topic based on planet Earth starting with the continents and then looking at oceans, jungles, space, the environment, etc. During half-terms and holidays we celebrate cultural events such as Halloween, Christmas, Valentines, and Easter. During the summer holidays our topics are based on countries that our children come from, encouraging parents to come in to school and celebrate with us.

Each child has their own learning journey which is observed and updated by their key worker. We use ‘Famly’ software, which is an interactive app that gives parents live updates during the day as well as a daily report which includes nap times, toilet checks, meal times, activities and observations. The children’s process is then tracked throughout the year so the key workers can work alongside parents to develop each child’s strengths and weaknesses.
