We are proud of our academy and what our pupils achieve here. But don’t just take our word for it, here’s what some of our parents had to say in November 2025…
We have seen a massive difference with our son, he is more confident and back to his normal self. He reads at home now too. We are so pleased he’s at Greenfields Academy; he is excited to leave home to go to school each morning. We cannot thank you enough for all your hard work.
Sherwood Class Parent
I am amazed by how far my son’s handwriting has come on, and the amount of work that he is producing. He is very settled in his new class as he is happy to go to school and is also happy when he comes home from school. I am really pleased with the support that the school has put in place.
Stapleford Class Parent
We are very happy with the progress our son is making as he is happy and well supported at school in both his learning and emotional wellbeing. He is happily trying new foods at home now and his confidence and independence is coming a long way and that is great to see.

We are very pleased with how our child has settled back into school and that he is doing so well considering he wasn’t accessing a full day last year, he seems a lot happier now that he is back at school.

My son is really enjoying his fishing at home which I would like to thank the school for. They have encouraged him to engage in something socially, and the outcome has been life changing for him.
