How We Teach

A Curriculum Built Around the Whole Child

Our curriculum is built on what we believe are the most important areas of development for young people today — academic rigour, social and emotional intelligence, environmental awareness, and the creative confidence to solve problems that don't yet have answers.

We balance the teaching of core subjects — languages, mathematics, science, and the arts — with deep, immersive project work that connects learning to the real world. Children at Greenwood Learning don't just study the world; they interact with it every day.

Wellbeing & Mental Health

Feeling happy, secure, and fulfilled is critical in developing high levels of wellbeing as well as an active passion to learn. Every day begins with a gathering that helps children arrive fully present and ready.

Outdoor Education

Outdoor Education

Our natural surroundings are our richest classroom. Children learn through direct experience with the natural world — developing observation, resilience, and a deep relationship with the environment.

Evaluation & Assessment

Progress That Goes Beyond Test Scores

Our carefully designed skill ladders support educators in identifying the next critical steps in progression across all subject areas. These are also designed so that school leaders can make comparisons with nationally recognised standards.

At Greenwood Learning, we assess the whole child — tracking not just academic progress but growth in confidence, creativity, collaboration, and character.

"Each child who joins us takes on our academically rigorous and challenging education — delivered through an engaging and deeply fulfilling curriculum."
