At Greenshaw we value personal development, alongside academic achievement. This is critical to
achieving success in any person’s life and, as a result, recognise the importance of teaching this
explicitly to students during their time with us. We have carefully crafted the pursuit of character into
our formal and our informal curriculum.

The emphasis we place on character is tangible in every area of school life; from our five cultural
expectations mounted in every classroom, our broad and rich PSHE curriculum, to our regular
celebration events and enrichment opportunities. We believe it our core mission to provide an
excellent education, foster positive and healthy relationships, support students to become emotionally
resilient, and respect and celebrate difference in others, contributing to the school and wider
community.
