Community

Responding to the needs of the community in which we serve is an important part of the Greenside curriculum. Embedding children with a strong sense of their local community, through links with community projects, businesses and inspiring local individuals drives much of our curriculum. This  encompasses our belief that children should understand their role in both local and global issues. This includes not only an understanding of the headline issues, but as the children get older, the wider contexts and grassroots issues that lead to those headlines. We foster opportunities for children to take the lead in local initiatives in ways such as campaigning, fundraising and small-scale practical engagement.
